Dog Soap Recipe

Does your dog hate getting a bath? Try this tick repelling goat milk soap recipe. It uses cedarwood and geranium for the essential oil blend which helps repel ticks. This soap is great and totally safe to use on you too! I have had people say that their dog behaves a lot better about getting a bath since they switched to this soap (I guess other soaps irritated their skin and they did not like it).

This is a cold process soap recipe and will fill a regular loaf mold (42 oz.). Let me know if you tried this recipe.

BASE OILS:

Coconut oil 255 grams

Cocoa Butter 113 grams

Shea Butter 113 grams

Olive Oil 283 grams

Caster Oil 141 grams

LYE SOLUTION:

Sodium Hydroxide (Lye) 119 grams

Goat milk (frozen) 340 grams (I freeze mine in ice trays)

ESSENTIAL OIL BLEND:

Cedarwood 15 grams

Geranium 15 grams

After cutting this soap I will let it cure for about 6 weeks. The cedarwood essential oil can make your soap go to trace quickly so I would add the essential oils after I have mixed the base oils and lye solution together but way before reaching trace.
