How I made my lavender goat milk soap using the milk-in-oil method. I’ve shown this method using coconut milk, so I thought I’d show it with goat milk & add more details that might be helpful like SoapCalc, insulating or not, etc. Thank you so much for watching! -- Holly :)

Lavandin - 2 parts
Patchouli - 1 part

DISCLAIMER: I make these videos to share my own personal methods and techniques for how I make cold process soap. These videos are not intended as tutorials for beginners. These videos are intended for those who already have an understanding of cold process soap making. Cold process soapmaking has many components and involves working with sodium hydroxide (NaOH, also referred to as lye). Lye and raw soap can damage your eyes and burn your skin. When making soap, you should already know and practice lye safe handling procedures and always wear safety gear. While I hope you find watching my videos helpful or entertaining, so many variables go into making soap and even the smallest change can greatly affect the results; therefore, I am not liable or responsible for your results if you try any of the methods or techniques that I use in my videos.
