Goat milk soap is the perfect solution for your dog’s dry skin.

Goat milk contains fats that are moisturizing and nourishing, just like oleic and linoleic acids in cow or goat cheese! But it also has high quantities of short-chain fatty acids called capric, caprylic (which have some similarities), plus caffeoylquinovosilene which locks up moisture inside cells so you don’t need as much product on each use
The input sentence says “Goat Milk” but you should change this wording since there can be more than one type/variety.

How does goat milk soap help your dog’s coat stay soft and shiny?

Well, for starters it has the added benefit of retaining all that naturally occurring glycerin produced in between saponification (soapmaking) chemical reactions. Glycerin is often removed from commercial soaps which means they are selling a valuable byproduct instead! It’s important we retain this natural ingredient because its benefits include moisturizing skin with.

So, you’re telling me that my dog has hot spots?

Well I guess goats milk can help with that. Goat’s have an excellent pH balance which means their skin will be healthier than ours! Yeah right, fatty acids and all those proteins please come over here so we might build some broken skin back up again…

Let’s begin making the soap

Before you get ready to make soap, it’s important that the right equipment is at hand. Safety first! Gather up your safety/protective gear: an apron with pockets for all of these necessities; goggles and gloves (worn while mixing lye water). Make sure there are also masks lined up nearby so everyone in earshot has one too if they need one–although be warned: some people really don’t like wearing them because once those elastic straps bite into their skin.

Gather all your ingredients.

All you have to do is mix together lye and water in two separate containers. Then add the tussah silk (which has been cut into small pieces) on top of your hot liquid mixture, stirring gently until everything dissolves and turns clear before storing for 30 minutes so it can cool down again.

The lye is cooling while you measure out all your hard oils/butters, and then it’s time to melt them! You can use a microwave or stovetop for this.

Measure out your liquid oils and mix them in a container. To the same measuring cup or beaker used for measuring oatmeal add essential oils then gently stir together until fragrance is distributed throughout ingredients before storing at room temperature away from direct sunlight – anywhere between 15-30 degrees should do!

Mix your oils and butters together until everything is well-incorporated.

I like making blends with oatmeal, because it’s so simple. First I add the colloidal oats to my oils and then blend until smooth without any clumps of powder visible; once that’s done putting in some essential oil will make your house smell amazing too!

Once the lye water has cooled somewhat (mine was around 105 degrees F), slowly add your lye water and oil mixture to a medium trace. This recipe with eucalyptus extract added before adding in all of these other ingredients, took only minutes for me to reach that perfect consistency!

Pour your soap batter into the mold and smooth out any lumps or bumps. If you want to make it look more like actual milk, pour a little yellow in with blue for some color!

It is now time to put your soap “to bed.” I don’t cover or insulate my soaps, but sometimes when there’s soda ash on the top of a freshly cut piece it can be bothersome. To avoid this problem (and still get some good molding action), 90% Isopropyl Alcohol will keep them nice and slippery for 24 hours before unmolding!

Expect your soap to harden and cure for at least 4 weeks before use.
