About Me

I have a wonderful family who supports my many hobbies including singing, soapmaking, wine tasting and rabbits. I recently retired from teaching English as a Second Language and love to travel. I started making soap in 1999 when we were showing goats in milk as a 4-H project. All of my soaps are made with pure oils and no animal fats. All fragrances are from essential oils. Store-bought "soap" is really a detergent. My soap will leave your skin clean and moisturized. Try some!

Honey Oatmeal Goat Milk Soap

This soap is quite popular in the winter and not usually  much of a seller in the summer.  I recently had a few requests for some and have only a few bars on hand, so honey oatmeal goat milk soap it is!  The new twist today?  I added some Cinnamon Leaf E.O.  Nice.  I started using this recipe in 2000 and love how it feels on the skin.  It takes a bit longer to trace than other recipes but I know not to worry about that.  It works best to have both the oils and the milk less than 100 degrees before combining to saponify.  I cut this recipe in half today as it makes a lot at one time.  Even the half recipe yielded 16 bars.
