An easy homemade soap recipe made with goat's milk
Cut soap base in cubes and add it to a double-boiler or a glass bowl on top of a pot. Turn heat to medium-low and stir constantly as the soap base melts. Turn to low to finish melting. Do not let the soap boil.
Take the pot off the heat and let the temperature cool slightly as the soap base thickens (3-4 mins), keep stirring as you add in the dried calendula and ground oatmeal. Stir until incorporated.
Let the soap cool a little bit more before adding the raw honey and the mandarin or wild orange essential oil.
Pour the melted soap into your mold of choice. If you are using anything other than a soap mold, place parchment paper down first. I used a vintage pan and laid parchment paper down inside pan. It was so easy to come out.
Place your soap mold in a place where it can't be touched. You might want to lay a towel over it - that's what I did. Let it sit for about 3 hours. Test it first to see if it's hardened, if not leave let it sit for another hour. I let mine sit overnight.
Unmold the soap and slice into bars.
