Goat's milk soap is one of the most popular recipes out there for homemade bars of high-quality soap. In this class, we'll make a cold-process goat's milk soap using a tried and true method to prevent scorching and give you beautiful, milky bars.
We'll also use some mix-ins to make your soap more exciting, adding color and texture through both grocery store and specialty ingredients like coffee, mica powders, and seeds. You'll get to take home a few customized soaps to continue curing and use after a few weeks.
Beginners and those with experience welcome! Keep in mind the soap made in this particular class isn't vegan.
