Goat Milk Soap For Acne - Goat Milk Soap Recipes
By Marie Ackland
Handmade soap products are an excellent alternative to the mass produced alternatives you'll find in the skin product section of your local supermarket or pharmacy, and goat milk soap is one of the best natural products for helping prevent and treat acne.
When you're looking for a good goat milk soap for acne or other skin problems, make sure that it does not contain artificial coloring or preservatives and that it does contain 100% goat milk. Making your own goat milk soap for acne treatment is a good option, to ensure that you are only using the most natural ingredients.
So why is goat milk soap good for acne, as well as eczema and dermatitis? Research has shown that goat milk soap, when properly made, has a pH level close to that of your own skin and that it contains vitamins and other skin nourishing nutrients. The reason that it is beneficial in the treatment of acne is that the goat milk soap contains an acidic property which helps neutralize the bacteria while still allowing your skin to retain its moisture.
Goat milk soap for acne treatment can be handmade at home, using the cold process of soap making. This involves mixing lye and water with fat or oil, and adding this to the cold goat milk. For acne problems, using oils - palm oil, olive oil and coconut oil - in the soap will give it a moisturizing feeling. Once the soap mixture has been blended to trace, you can add fragrance oils or essential oils for scenting the goat milk soap. The soap is then poured into a mold to let it set, and after it has been cut into bars it is left to be cured for around 3 weeks.
Another way to make your own goat milk soap is to use the melt and pour method, where you buy the glycerin soap base instead of having to start from scratch with the lye solution. The soap base is melted and the goat milk is added, again with scented oils for fragrance.
As well as using goat milk soap for acne prevention or treatment, it can also be used to soothe other skin problems and is great for using on sensitive skin. Easy recipes for goat milk soap for acne, either using the cold process or melt and pour methods, are widely available and come in all shapes and quantities. If you are going to buy goat milk soap for acne problems, look for a genuine homemade soap and make sure it doesn't have any unwanted additives.
Marie Ackland - Soap making was originally a hobby of mine that gave me great pleasure, theres something quite satisfying about creating from scratch a beautifully scented bar of soap.
It then turned into a full time passion, creating wonderful soap for family and friends to enjoy. When a friend suggested I take some along to a local craft fair, which I did and from that day on I never looked back. I now have a great soap business which makes a healthy profit and gives me great satisfaction.
So now 20 years on from my first batch I love to teach the art of soap making. It can be frustrating at first but if you learn the fundamentals and put into practice my methods you WILL have great soap every time.

Goat Milk Soap Recipe - Easy And Fast!
By Al Bullington
Soap making is an easy and fun craft hobby. But soap making can be a great part-time business. Many folks pull in an extra thousand or two a month with a part-time venture.
What's the appeal of handcrafted soap? Commercial soaps are usually drying and many are actually synthetic detergents. Your kitchen crafted soap can work better. It has a special, moisturizing luxury feel. Plus you have the option of customizing it with different ingredients ... especially scents in literally infinite variety. This can be a goat milk soap recipe or any other kind of milk as well.
This gives you one of our proven recipes and the basic instructions to put it all together.
Our specialty is milk soap. We made over 30,000 bars of soap like this in our kitchen sink over a four-year period. We sold all that soap at craft shows and festivals and through our own catalog. Though you can make soap using water instead of milk, you will like the milk soap better ... guaranteed!!!
Lightly Lavender Goat Milk Soap Recipe
11.3 ounces (320 grams) Coconut Oil
11.7 ounces (330 grams) Palm Oil
15.5 ounces (440 grams) Olive Oil
3.9 ounces (110 grams) Almond Oil
6.1 ounces (175 grams) Sodium Hydroxide
15.5 ounces (440 grams) Whole Milk
2 1/3 Tablespoons Lavender Essential Oil
1 Tablespoon Almond Oil
Now for some "inside information". To make any soap, you mix fats and an alkali or lye. All soap is made that way. The cured product is harmless. You can brush your teeth with it. You can even eat it. It won't hurt you!
But the lye and the uncured soap mixture are very caustic. It will burn your skin. It will blind you if it gets in your eyes! You absolutely must wear goggles when you make soap and it's best to wear rubber gloves and long sleeves too.
Equipment You Will Need
2 Stainless Steel Pans
1 Plastic Pan
Rubber Spatula
Thermometer (90-200 degree F Range)
Scale For Weighing Material
Molds For Soap (Plastic Tub)
Hand Held Stick Blender (Optional)
Soap Making Step-by-Step
1. Weigh oils and combine in stainless steel pan.
2. Heat slowly until everything melts. Cool to about 110 degrees. Do not include the scent oil or the small amount of almond oil.
3. Weigh lye in a plastic container. Remember the gloves and goggles.
4. Weigh milk and pour into a separate stainless steel pan.
5. Put 2-3 inches of water in your sink and add ice cubes. Put your pan with milk into ice water.
6. Slowly pour the lye into the milk. Take twenty minutes to do this, stirring all the while. Monitor the milk temperature and keep it below 150 degrees so it does not burn. When all the lye is added, let the mixture cool until it is 110 degrees.
7. Add the lye/milk mixture to the oils, stirring while you do so; now stir the soap mixture until it begins to gel. It's time to stop stirring when a thin stream of soap drizzled on top of the soap
mixture lays on top. This is called tracing. If stirring by hand this may take 45 minutes. To speed things up the trick is to use your hand blender to stir the soap for 30 seconds, let it rest for a minute and repeat until it traces.
8. Add scent oils and the extra almond oil.
9. Pour into prepared molds. Let sit for 24 hours. Remove from molds. Cut into bars and set aside to cure for 4 weeks.
These are basic instructions. Lots of soap making books are out there, but many make it so complicated it's tough to get going. Even if you consult some of those books, return to these instructions for the basics. Try this recipe. You will love the results.
Al Bullington has made and sold soap for years through his family soap business.
There are insider "secrets" for making and marketing soap that are hard to find. Find out more about them here: [http://www.soapbizkit.com]Click Here!

Goats Milk Soap For Acne
By Charles S. Spencer
Goat milk had taken a back seat since the great fame of cows milk in the skin care and health care industry. That was until one day that the researches and scientists discovered the benefits of goat milk. It has great moisturizing and calming effect for the skin. Goat milk also contain tons of beneficial nutrients that can rejuvenate the skin. If you are trying to improve your acne condition, you might want to consider goats milk soap as your acne combating arsenal.
One major problem with those mainstream acne treatment we have today such as benzoyl peroxide, zinc, Accutane and so on, is that those treatments all cause some harsh side effects to our skin. Those side effects would, most of the time, include heavy and severe irritation and rashes. Yes, they kill the bacterias that cause the formation of acne, but what if they also destroy the structure of your skin? With goat milk, you can now use its moisturizing and rejuvenating effect to calm your skin to balance out the side effects those mainstream treatments have caused.
Goat milk soap greatly benefits our skin since it has the same pH level similar to that of our own skin. Goat milk is also gentle on skin for this reason. Another benefit that goat milk soap has is that it contains natural alpha hydroxy acid, which is a natural exfoliant element that removes dead skin cells from your skin. Hence, it indirectly is able to improve your acne condition.
Goat's milk also has high amounts of protein, fat, iron, vitamin C and vitamin D, vitamin B and Vitamin A. These beneficial nutrients will help replenish and pamper the skin gently. The vitamins it contains also means that goat milk has some anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce acne redness. Besides its gentle calming effect, goat's milk is also used widely to brighten skin's complexion.
But these benefits cannot do much for your skin if you are using some low quality goat milk soap that only contains modified additives and chemicals. If it is possible, find soap that contains pure goat's milk for maximum benefits.
So give goat's milk soap a try. I am not saying that it is guaranteed to remove acne from your skin. It is not that effective for that use but since most of the major acne treatments are destroying your skin as well, why not use some goat's milk on your face so that it can be healed and calmed?
Need help on how to cure your acne? I cannot guarantee by reading this can cure your acne, but if you have the time, why not read my story and learn my TOP SECRET 5 Steps To Zero Acne In Less Than 2 Months?

The Magic in Goat Milk
By Iris Fuchs
Goat milk, unlike any other type of milk, has great medicinal and therapeutic characteristics and has been known to aid/cure skin problems, assist respiratory and digestive processes in infants and promote all around good nutrition in humans.
Goat milk is applied to the soap making process by adding fresh goat milk or goat milk in powder-form during the cold process, or a goat milk glycerin base during the melt and pour process. Goat milk has remarkable qualities, which we can all benefit from.

Goat milk, unlike any other type of milk, has great medicinal and therapeutic characteristics and has been known to aid/cure skin problems, assist respiratory and digestive processes in infants and promote all around good nutrition in humans.
The Differences between Goat Milk to Cow Milk
Goat milk as a food source is naturally homogenized unlike cow milk, due to its smooth texture, which makes it easy to absorb in the body and digest. Goat milk contains more vitamins A and B than cow milk although both types of milk have the same levels of vitamins C, D, Iron, Protein and Fat. Goat milk contains less lactose than cow milk.Digestive, Respiratory and other Medicinal Properties
The molecular structure in the fatty acid and protein in goat milk is shorter, unlike cow milk globules, which are big and separate on the surface rendering them hard to digest. Goat milk molecules break down faster and are easier on the human digestive system. This is extremely beneficial to infants who have symptoms of diarrhea, constipation, vomiting and even colic. Goat milk has been known to treat allergies in both infants and adults. In some cases, goat milk has also been found aiding respiratory difficulties in infants with Cystic Fibrosis and children with epilepsy. Goat milk can help in minimizing cholesterol deposits in the arteries as well as improve mineralization of the skeleton, balancing mineral and hemoglobin levels in the blood and increase blood serum vitamins.Skin
Goat milk is probably most well known for its therapeutic qualities to the skin. It moisturizes and balances the skin PH. This is because goat milk has the same level of acidity as our skin; hence, it prevents harmful bacteria from forming. Goat milk can greatly aid in healing cases of acne, eczema and dermatitis.Summary
By regularly using goat milk in our soap, we assist our skin in retaining health and vitality. As the PH level is balanced, the skin is continually nourished and moisturized.Goat milk is applied to the soap making process by adding fresh goat milk or goat milk in powder-form during the cold process, or a goat milk glycerin base during the melt and pour process. Goat milk has remarkable qualities, which we can all benefit from.
