Here are the steps to the Homemade Goat Milk Soap Recipe for Beginners: Heat the coconut oil and shortening/lard until it melts in the big pot. Take it off the heat and add olive oil.
Either way, goat’s milk does contain a good amount of lactic acid, which is a natural exfoliant and can help give you glowing skin, improve acne, and make you look younger. What other ingredients do we need? Just any cold process soap, we still need lye and oils.
