Title: Hello from the Midlands! Post by: goatysoap on August 17, 2010, 09:56:04 AM Hello
I'm completely new to the forum but very pleased to find somewhere that seems so friendly and supportive :) I make goats milk soap using milk from my own goats. Have been very pleased with the soaps so far but hope to extend into other cosmetics too (when I feel brave enough!!) speak to you all soon goaty x Title: Re: Hello from the Midlands!

Nice looking soap - do you make other stuff besides soap? Title: Re: Hello from the Midlands! Post by: Iulia on August 17, 2010, 02:03:47 PM Hi and beautiful soap!
Title: Re: Hello from the Midlands! Post by: goatysoap on August 17, 2010, 02:24:48 PM Thank you everyone for your lovely welcomes and comments about my turkish delight soap!
Currently we ahve 3 goats. I am only milking the one but as fo the autumn the little white one from my pic will be going to visit a billy so that we can keep the milk supply going - 3 of my 4 human kids are cows milk intollerant so goats milk is really a way of life for us now!! they also suffer with sensitive skin so this soap has been a godsend. Elaine - I'm just starting to research other goats milk based bits like shampoo, hand cream and so on but hitting brick walls! ie. don't know where to start. the lovely man who does my chemical assessments has said about using a bought in base but I'd like to be able to use my own goats milk :-\ good to meet you all :) Title: Re: Hello from the Midlands!

Title: Re: Hello from the Midlands! Post by: Eva on August 17, 2010, 08:38:02 PM Hello and welcome! :hi:
It looks and sounds great having your own goats. The soap looks fantastic, so white and one thinks it's creamy too. My grandchild would also love that one, anything pink. Do you add any scents to them? Title: Re: Hello from the Midlands! Post by: goatysoap on August 17, 2010, 08:59:12 PM It is very creamy and lathers beautifully.
the turkish delight one I do add fragrance to but I also make a 'milkey baaa' (daft name but it is goats milk!!) which is pure with no colour or fragrance - I have recently made it in dinasaur moulds for boys and fairy moulds for girls and my daughters are currently trialling the girly ones :) Title: Re: Hello from the Midlands! Post by: Denise on August 17, 2010, 11:02:51 PM Milky baaa - what a great name! Hi goaty and welcome to the forum :buttrf:
