Making Goat Milk & Oatmeal Soap (It's 'Sorta' A Tutorial) | MO River Soap

This video is a ‘sorta’ tutorial! What I mean by that is that I cover the process of making goat milk soap and give lots of tips and tidbits but I am not providing an exact recipe. Our recipe is proprietary but I have listed below some teaching sources that provide recipes and they’re pretty good too! I want you to do lots of research and learn about soapmaking, the properties of oils, lye concentration, etc., and be fully aware of all safety protocols before you make soap. In addition, goat milk soapmaking is considered an advanced process and not intended for the beginner soapmaker.

*****FAQ*****
How do I get started in soapmaking? I would recommend starting by arming yourself with knowledge. Educate and then experiment. Be sure to follow all proper safety precautions. A great starting place is the beginner cold process soapmaking series by SoapQueenTV here on YouTube. You can then purchase all the supplies you need at Bramble Berry.
Why don't you share your cold process soap recipe? Our recipe is proprietary. We can't give away all our secrets now can we? :-) There are plenty of recipes at your finger tips. You don’t need mine to succeed at soapmaking.
Where do you buy your oils? We purchase our oils in bulk at Soapers Choice, Jedwards International, or Bramble Berry.
Where did you buy your molds? My husband builds all my wood molds. My silicone molds are from various suppliers.
Where did you buy your soap cutter? We purchased our soap cutter at Bud’s Woodshop.
Where did you buy your soap loaf splitter? Our loaf splitter was purchased from Smith Creek Studio.
Where do you buy your soaping containers? My pitchers are from School Masters and my large plastic containers are from Webstaurant Store.
Where do you buy your fragrance oils? We purchase our oils from many different suppliers. We don’t have a one-stop-shop for all of our oils. We blend the majority of the fragrances we work with.
Where do you buy your colors? We buy our colors at Bramble Berry and Nurture Soap.
Where do you buy your coconut milk? I buy So Delicious Organic Coconut Milk on Amazon.
Where do you buy your packaging materials? We buy our packaging materials at various suppliers including Paper Mart, ULine, Nashville Wraps, and Amazon.
Why don’t you provide exact links for supplies? I think providing where I purchased something is good enough. I encourage you to research. We have the internet at our finger tips…use it! Maybe that’s the mom in me, encouraging you to be self-sufficient.
Do you give classes? No, I do not offer classes. However, if you need help, leave me a comment and I’ll see what I can do.
