Make your own natural cold process goat milk soap the old fashioned way with real organic peppermint essential oil.
If this is your first time making soap, STOP 🛑 Please read How To Make Cold Process Milk Soap before attempting this recipe.

Peppermint has a cooling & uplifting scent that refreshes & awakens both the body & the mind.

Ready? Let's begin!

Peppermint Milk Soap

Ingredients:

21 ounces Organic Olive Oil
9 ounces Organic Coconut Oil
9 ounces Frozen Milk
4.1 ounces Lye
1 ounce Organic Peppermint Essential Oil

  1. Using a kitchen scale carefully measure out the lye into a small plastic bowl. Put the frozen milk into a small plastic bowl. Slowly & carefully begin to pour the lye over the frozen goat milk. Using a silicon or plastic spatula start to stir the melting lye in with the milk. Pause and add a bit more lye and repeat the process. Doing this about four times usually helps to keep the milk from heating too quickly. Be sure to stir constantly until the lye is dissolved. Set aside.
  2. Slowly measure out the olive oil and coconut oil. Gently blend. When they lye is cool enough, slowly add it to the oil mixture. Stir by hand to incorporate.  Continue to blend using an immersion blender. When the soap has almost reached trace, add the peppermint essential oil.  Continue to blend using the immersion blender until the soap has reached trace. Once the soap has reached trace, stop.
  3. Pour the soap into a silicon loaf pan & place in the refrigerator to sit undisturbed for 24 hours.
  4. After 24 hours remove the loaf from the refrigerator & gently pop it out onto a clean cardboard tray. Let it sit for a few days to harden.
  5. After a few days, slice the soap & lay the slices out on the cardboard tray (I make mine out of old shipping boxes). Cover the soap with another piece of cardboard to keep dust off the curing soap. Allow to cure for a month.
  6. Test the PH of the soap after a month. It should have a PH of around 7.

Enjoy!

    Do you dream about living the simple life?  Your own idyllic farm where the cows moo and the veggies are the best you've ever eaten? I've got a surprise for you, homesteading isn't easy! Join me at my small eco family farm where we stumble often, and learn as we go. This is indeed the good life, but it is also a very hard life that only rewards for that hard work... or not!  Back to the land, it's tough and I love it.Hi there! My name is Jen. I'm a "tree hugging dirt worshiper" who has been organically farming for nearly two decades. It never ceases to amaze me at how much I've learned & how much I am still learning. I have studied natural health, nutrition, & herbs for nearly three decades. Our health & the natural world around us are connected in ways we don't often realize. How we treat the land & animals directly affects us in both body & mind. My goal is to provide others with truly natural humane goods from my own little piece of paradise, & to freely pass along whatever knowledge I pick up along the way. I am grateful every day to be able to have such a worthwhile & fulfilling job surrounded by the beauty & unpredictability of Mother Nature.
