I recently purchased a quart of fresh goat milk from a local produce market. Goat milk is known for containing fats that contribute to moisturizing qualities in soap. Working with it can be tricky, though, as it tends to heat up and can even scorch when combined with sodium hydroxide as part of the soap making process. One method to counteract this is to freeze the milk, then weigh out the needed amount according to the recipe being used. I found this worked very well and the goat milk/sodium hydroxide solution stayed cool....no overheating! Other ingredients include oils of palm, coconut, olive, shea butter, oxide colorant and a delectable berry fragrance oil. Mmmm, so good!
