GOAT'S MILK AND HONEY CASTILE PROJECT
100% olive oil soap is pure indulgence. It is known to be the gentlest and most nourishing of soaps. Adding goat's milk and honey adds a warm colour and scent to the soap.
The inclusion of the milk and honey helps boost bubble and lather and cut out on the slimmy feel associated with pure castile soap. On the other hand, these two ingredients impart great skin-conditioning goodness to the soap. Goat's milk is known to have alpha-hydroxy acids such as lactic acids, which help to gently exfoliate dead skin cells. It is also high in vitamins A, B and B6 which help protect skin. Honey acts as a humectant which helps skin retain moisure and reduce dryness, and it gives a lovely sweet, warm scent to the soap.
You can choose to use buttermilk instead!
