Goats Milk Soap Making Workshop near York

A wonderful gift for friends and family or a fabulous treat for yourself. Join the Cosy Cottage Soap team in their Malton workshop for a fun-filled two-hour session in making goat’s milk soap. You’ll learn the techniques for creating goat’s milk soap and make six bars of your own unique soap to take home.

Before starting, you’ll meet the goats that provided the milk and hear from Sam at Wold’s Barn in Duggleby, who will talk about her goats and the therapeutic benefits of goat’s milk.

Using the cold process soap-making method with raw, unpasteurised goat’s milk, you’ll create palm oil-free soap from vegetable oils and waxes. This natural process does not use synthetic melt-and-pour bases. You’ll personalise your soap with dried flowers, fruit, exfoliants, and fragrances.

What to expect:

• Tea/coffee and introductions
• Sam’s presentation about her goats and the benefits of goat’s milk
• History and therapeutic benefits of goat’s milk soap
• The chemistry of goats milk soap-making
• An introduction to fragrances, botanicals and essential oils (optional addition)
• Goats milk soap making demonstration
• Choose your own fragrances, flowers, exfoliants
• Craft your own bespoke goats milk soap
• Next steps – after 24 hours (cutting the soaps) and 2 weeks (post curing)
