It that seem an alchemical challenge when it comes to finding the best goat-milk soaps with pure, natural ingredients. There's a lot to know about processes and ingredients for soap making in order to select the best soap for your skin, function and price point.
Goat milk soap should be plain, beyond nourishing oils such as coconut, palm, and olive oil as well as essential oils for fragrance or health benefits. GMO products such as soybean, corn, canola, potato, or modified rapeseed oil are ingredients to flag — although the FDA has found no proof that GMOs are less safe, the rule of thumb for soap is simplicity.
You'll also want to avoid sodium lauryl sulfate, which is an emulsifier that improves soap lather, which strips the skin of healthy oils that occur naturally. Nevertheless, sodium hydroxide, or lye, is fine — it is added early in the soap making cycle, and is typically not present in the finished product, although sometimes identified as an ingredient.
Here's a list of the best goat milk soaps to make adding goat milk soap as easy as the soap should be to your routine.
