Goat milk soap

Would you like to wash your hands with some goat milk? no? didn't think so. But little do most people know there are many benefits of using goat milk soap.

1. it is good for your skin.

goat milk is quite good for your skin and can moisturize it, and the soap keeps your hands clean, so goat milk soap is like soap and lotion in one. Awesome!

2. it is often natural
goat milk soap is often( not always) made from natural ingredients, like essential oils,  coconut oil and of course, fresh goat milk soap. This is especially the case if you buy locally made goat milk soap.

3. it may help skin inflammation and acne
goat milk has many skin healing properties that can help not only soothe inflamed, dry skin, but in the long run, could decrease the amount of acne you have, which is always awesome.



MAKING THE SOAP 
At 4-H, we make our own goat milk soap to sell at our farmstands and events. We use extremely fresh goat milk, in fact it is made from the milk that we got from the goats only a few days prior! We then add the other ingredients, like essential oils and other things. We used to use lye in the soap making process, but we use more natural substances now. We mix the ingredients, we let the soap cool and harden, and then we cut it and put the labels on, and it's ready to sell. (The labels are made by kids, so it is not uncommon to find a "help I'm stuck in a soap factory" on the backs of the labels from time to time) So my main point with all this is the next time you see goat milk soap at a store, pick some up. You won't regret it.
