Product Monday – Cool Citrus Goat Milk Soap

Cool Citrus Goat Milk Soap

After working with this goat milk soap today I describe the scent as a tart citrus with just a hint of cool peppermint.

How about the color? I use ultramarine color in this particular soap. A touch of blue, mainly green. With each batch of cool citrus goat milk soap, because most of the ingredients are natural (97% in this soap), the green hue can range from pea green to pale green.

Citrus essential oils like to dissipate in cold processed soap. When I want a sharp citrus scent I use a fragrance oil.

This, and many other goat milk soaps, can be found in my online store.

Enjoy!

Mmmm, I love citrus! And with a hint of peppermint. Interesting combination.

It smells wonderful, Becky. I think I am going to make a cool citrus wax tart today, just for myself (and for others as well this week). Crisp and clean. Funny how our tastes for scent goes through many changes.

By the way…the soap has lightened up to a beautiful pale green. I enjoy the transformation, as soap goes through its stages the first couple of days.

Thanks for the hint about using FO’s instead of EO’s when wanting a citrus scent. Good to know. My biggest problem with soapmaking (altho’ there are many!) is that the scent rarely stays the way I intend it to. So, thanks again for the tip.

Your soaps always look so creamy and have a pretty hue. I can just feel the coolness in the green.

Donna, are you saying soaping is a challenge?! LOL…it can be. Amazing how different fragrances and essential oils can affect what we do.

Thank you, Amy.

Delores, the green has lightened up. I love how this one transforms as it cures.

I don’t want to burst your bubble, but the words “citrus” and “goat milk” should never appear in the same sentence. Okay, maybe as soap, but never as beverages. Ewwww.
