Like the famous donkey’s milk superfatted soap, goat’s milk soap is becoming more and more known. It is both the ally of dry skin and is excellent for sensitive, reactive, allergic skin… but also for acne-prone skin prone to small acne spots. And if it is possible to buy some, know that it is also very easy to prepare your own homemade goat’s milk soap. We already gave you another recipe based on honey and vegetable oils for thirsty skin that suffers from irritation. The recipe below is even simpler, but still just as gentle to benefit from the benefits of goat’s milk soap for the face and body.
The ingredients:
-250 g of vegetable soap, preferably enriched with vegetable glycerin
-250 ml of goat’s milk
-3 tablespoons of olive oil (can be replaced with argan oil, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, calendula oil or jojoba oil)
-3 teaspoons of beeswax
-And finally 3 medium egg yolks
Optional: Jasmine or lavender essential oil
The steps:
1) First, grate your soap carefully, then melt it in a bain-marie.
2) Once it has completely melted, add your olive oil and beeswax. Using a whisk, make sure you obtain a very homogeneous and smooth mixture.
3) Then, warm the goat’s milk before adding it to the previous mixture. Beat your preparation vigorously.
4) Now it is time to add the eggs as well as the essential oil if you wish to add some. (Always be sure to research the contraindications of essential oils before using them. They are not perfumes!)
5) Finally, pour the mixture into a mold and leave to cool in the fridge. All you have to do is unmold and possibly cut homemade goat’s milk soap.
