100% Goat Milk Soap with Rice Bran Oil


Okay, I contemplated not posting this...because, well...it's just a plain soap! However, I really like plain soap too...there is something very special about it's pure and clean simplicity. 

This is the first time I have used 100% goat milk as the liquid. I used the same method as my luxury soap recipe to make the goat milk / lye solution. I also wanted to incorporate rice bran oil into this recipe, because I haven't tried it in soap before and it was on my list :) 

I wanted to keep this soap as simple as possible, so I didn’t add any fragrance or color.  I used the divider mold and left it uninsulated. It did not gel, so the soap stayed very creamy looking. I did use sodium lactate, and the bars came nicely out of the divider mold the next morning.

Nothing fancy, and yet I enjoy it just as much as any of the really detailed soaps I've made. Sometimes simple is better :)

Hope you all have a great weekend!

  1. I like white and simple soap the most! I always have to have some unscented soap at home that I use for my dog and for salt scrubs etc. Many people with dry skin loooove creamy goat milk soap with nothing extra in it.

  5. It looks like vanilla fudge - so smooth and creamy! There's nothing wrong with a simple soap. One of my favorites is a plain bar made with coconut milk and bamboo powder. :)

  8. I really like it, Cee! I always have a batch of "plain" soap on hand because I have a son with sensitive skin. I just made a batch yesterday, in fact, lol. I use rice bran oil in almost every batch too, I like it that much. I think you will too! :)
