Goat Milk Liquid Soap

For a while, I'd been wanting to try making some liquid soap using goat milk as a base, and seeing just what I'd come up with.
I know what bar soap does when it is made with goat milk, but what about liquid?
I found that it makes wonderful soap! That's what :)
It didn't quite process into transparent soap, but that's ok. It means there is a little bit of excess fat left in the soap.
Just my style... I will be testing this batch out for a while to see how it does long term, but so far I love it!!


There are numerous cellulose thickeners, and other kinds of natural thickeners that can be used, but shown below is the consistency of the goat milk liquid soap with Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose.
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose has been widely used as a food additive for thickening and emulsifying liquids.  Did you ever wonder how fast food places make such nice thick milkshakes? :)
