Goat Milk Soap

Small batches – Hand crafted – 100% Goat Milk

There are several ways to make and label soap as “goat milk”. At Ghost Dog Dairy we do it the best way. 100% fresh goat milk is in every bar – no exceptions.

The goats are milked in the morning and that milk is immediately filtered and used in one of four ways – fermented for Farm Dog Formula, sold on farm to our dedicated customers, consumed by the family, or frozen into cubes for the next batch of soap.

Milk contains sugars and those sugars can easily burn when lye is added to it. In order to eliminate the burn, I freeze the milk and then when it is time to make soap, I take my “milk ice cubes” and add lye very slowly to it. The process is very time consuming, and is the main reason for our small batches, but the result is a bar of soap that is truly moisturizing and fantastic for your skin. Goats milk contains vitamin A, B1, B6, B12, C, D, and E. All of these vitamins help nourish, moisturize, and promote healthy skin.

The way makers get around this process is to add powdered milk to water or by adding a splash of goat milk to the end of their soap making process. It is true, you can call this goat milk soap, but the true ingredient is literally being watered down. You will not get a watered down bar from Ghost Dog Dairy – thus the small batch, hand crafted bar.

Besides being made with our fresh goats milk, each bar contains high quality Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, and Palm Oil. Olive Oil moisturizes the skin and creates a creamy lather, Coconut Oil is super cleansing and produces large bubbles and Palm Oil creates a nice lather and helps harden the bars. These three oils and milk from our “all-star” milkers, give you a bar that is not only nourishing and moisturizing, but will also revitalize your skin and help with those problem areas that many of us experiance from time to time. I have had several people say their skin problems were cleared up with my soap. I know it worked for mine but I guess you just need to try it to find out for yourself!

The fragrances I use are sourced from very reputable companies. These companies rigorously test their fragrance oils to make sure they meet both expectations for scent and performance. There are so many fragrances out there to try, and I do usually add a new one every now and then because I cant help myself! But the following are the fragrances I have in stock at all times:
