One of the uses for our “extra” goat milk is goat milk soap. As a family we’ve enjoyed various scents: vanilla, lavender, oatmeal milk & honey, and pink sugar (Brett’s favorite). I’ve been selling my soap, so we’ve been trying new scents as I replenish my inventory. Here are some photos of the soap curing.
These are lemon curd on the left, ocean in the middle, and rosemary mint on the right. The lemon curd is my favorite scent for just standing around sniffing. It smells absolutely yummy. I used mica to make the ocean blue. The children thought blue soap was “magic” since I’ve never tinted the soaps before.
This is lilac. I used a natural mica to tint it a light purple and added a light swirl. Lilac is my favorite flower, so I had to soap it.
The soaps cure for 4-6 weeks on the top shelves of the children’s closets. They scent the whole room – which is really nice in a stinky boys’ bedroom. The girls have both peppermint and lilac curing in their room – which makes an interesting combination.
On the to-do list for this week is island coconut, english lavender, and unscented. I might have to have a fun time teasing the children, trying to get them to figure out what the “unscented” soap smells like.
