How to make handmade, natural Goats Milk Soap

here at the handmade soap company we are delighted to be teaming up with a number of local artesian producers today we are Dominic Grayson's fireman came to me to help milk his goats which we will then be using in the first of limited edition collection of creation of interesting and skin friendly soaps a milk in them it's very relaxing very soothing that is a definite not tushy you've got this mastered but I wouldn't say mastered but yes it comes with practice I remember me Dad Milton and we had an old a Cheryl a crass frisian cow and he used to milk this cow for the house I like that I used to go in and he'd be finished up and practice it's definitely an acquired scale yeah yeah absolutely and it looks very easy when you're doing it we're gonna be using some of your goat's milk to make soap yeah let's go tell Julie it's very moisturizing for this game it is lovely tradition heating properties and so on what do you use a lot of go live for yeah we make ice cream I hope to go back to making yogurt and also cheese so we have a goat's milk soap from Dominic's farm and area and a good friend of mine Andrew Cassidy's house and we're gonna make some goats mud salt so so very simply is made by mixing an acid and an alkali so for our acid we'll use various plant and botanical oils and fats which are here and then we're going to use for our alkali sodium hydroxide which is commonly known as caustic soda you mix those two together they go through a process called saponification and what is left after that process is soap okay so this is a recipe I formulated myself then in the factory and we're not going to use any palm oil in this which is commonly used in salt making we are trying to move all of our soaps away from power mode currently we do use sustainable power mode but for this particular recipe we're going to use coconut oil shea butter cocoa butter sweet almond oil hummus grade olive oil the recipe we're gonna put up here for you now and obviously as well at the Goldsmith you know normally when you make soap you mix water with the sodium hydroxide for this goat's milk soap we're gonna replace all the water with the goat's milk which we've just got from OPA Dominic's farm so we used to make goat's milk couple years ago we always found there was a bit of a funny smell after and I couldn't get my head around why it was after investigating I realized that when you mix the sodium hydroxide with the goat's milk and he did it to about 75 plus degrees and this scorched the dog smoke which gave it a funny smell though it always made a lovely bar of soap but it took a few weeks for the smell to dissipate so after a bit of experiment and I found the way around this was to actually freeze the gold smoke soap before you mix the sodium hydroxide finish and this keeps the temperature of the reaction way down and saves the goat's milk soap from being scorched so this reaction is dangerous and caustic sodium hydroxide is by far the most common alkali use for making soap but it can be quite dangerous so when you pour any liquid upon it it becomes very close a little easier burn through flesh so we highly recommend wearing very strong dogs and long sleeves from doing this always pour the sodium hydroxide into liquid and right okay so now we have our ingredients in the pots we need to get into the same temperature before we make them we found through years of trial and error that the ideal temperature for making soap particularly in Ireland is 36 degrees Celsius so we're heating our oils up to 36 and generally we have to cool our lie down to 36 but because we've frozen the gold smoke we need to actually just heat it slightly okay so now we have the lye and they the facts at the right temperature the boda at about 36 degrees what we're going to do is pour the lye into the fat always that way you never deal the way around mix it with a hand blender until we reach something called trace I'll show you what that is now [Music] so tres is the point where the mixer is ready to add whatever fragrance are you you're using when when the mixer hits tres means that the saponification process is well underway when you drizzle some of the mixture on top it shouldn't absorb back into the liquid if you add your fragrance before hits tres the fragrance will just dissipate and you will get your fragrance in the end product we only use the centralized pure essential oils to fragrance to send our soaps we just think against this more so than camera kind of smell so this is a blend I've put together down the factory this is lavender rosemary thyme and mint we're just going to use this we're just thinking suit the gold smell quite well put that in give it a mix fruit and then we're ready to pour it in the mold we're just gonna pour the mixture into the mold and let it settle [Music] [Applause] so this is our first collaboration that's a fresh made goat's milk soap and this is someone we prepared earlier or we're actually gonna be selling a few of these as a limited edition on the website so hope you enjoy dish we'll be looking forward to the next one [Music]
