I’ve made this during Pharmacy Technician School. So much fun. One of the things we do is if we talk about a number under 1, we say”zero point 4(0.4)”. Anything less than 1 gets a 0 first. Helps avoid mistakes. Enjoy watching your videos,great job.
Mam I love it they way you explained . Today is my first time ever making goat lotion with your recipe. Please post more skin product recipes. Thanks God Bless
Thank you for doing this video. It is very helpful, even 5 years later. Do you sterilize your bottles? I put them in bleach water and they took a few days to completely dry.
I just came across your channel I was watching the one from 11 years ago for goat's milk lotion and then I just came across your 14 years ago for goat's milk lotion and I was wondering what is the difference between the two of them thank you
hi just wondering. i want to use this receipe as a cream not a lotion. because it has great oils i like. and being real goats milk. it has everything i want in a cream. my question is do i blend ot longer to make it thicker. or do i need to add more emulsifying wax? any help would be fantastic. i have been looking for what i class as a fantastic receipe for 2 mths. this is it. thanku.
Hi there. Love and greetings from Pretoria, South Africa. Why do you add distilled water ? Can we not omit the water and use goat milk only? Thanks for sharing.😊
This was really nice. I know you said that you only make it for friends and family. But have you considered selling this product. I would totally buy it.
Hi, I am new to making my own skin products and am excited to try this out. I have 2 questions for you. 1. Could I use Optiphen Plus? Is there a difference between Optiphen vs Optiphen Plus. Will it preserve it the same? 2. Do you still get your fragrance oil at Bramble Berry? There shipping just seems to take longer than what I’m use to.
I am not familiar with optiphen plus. I do still order from Bramble Berry and yes do you have to wait on their shipping but it seems to be the best prices to me so I just wait.
Can you add the preservative and scent before blending? I was going to try blending a little thicker so it's a whipped lotion so wasn't sure if it could be added after blend thicker? If that makes and sence
What about milk souring? I had talked with bramble berry and then didnt recommend using milk because of that? I'd love to make it with milk as I make regular lotions.
Thank you for this vid, how did you come up with the recipe, I have a couple of questions, can we add honey and beeswax to replace the preservative? And do we have to use water, can it all be the milk for the liquid?
Thank you for sharing your recipe. It is very informative and easy to understand. I want to try making my own lotion using your recipe and was wondering which Optiphen you use. I checked the website you mentioned Bramble Berry and they have 2 different options. The Optiphen and the Optiphen ND which is best? Also on the wax there is emulsifying wax and palowax emulsifying wax. Does it matter which one? I just want to make sure I use the right product. Thanks in advance.
I know this is a 2 year old video. I really would like to make it. However I want to try to make it more of a thick cream or butter. Is there any way to use a goats milk powder to cut down on the liquid ratio and allow a thicker butter consistency?
How long does you lotion last? Since you only use Optiphen? So many are controversy about making goat milk lotion and causing bacteria to grow with in a couple of weeks. I am not saying that yours will but curious how long it will last for you. Thanks for your experience making this product. Do you ever have it tested??? thanks!
I love your videos! I have a question. I followed this recipe and my lotion is expanding and the bottle explodes every time I open it. Did I do something wrong?
So are you pasteurizing in the microwave? Or doing the old school stove method first, then just microwaving for the recipe? Just trying to clarify. Great video! Thanks!
I stumbled across your recipe on the lotion - very nice and straight forward. I have plenty of goats for milk too. Do you sell this homemade product? or is it just a hobby to share with your friends? I ask, bc I'd like to do something like this for a little side business! thanks for sharing.
I already tried before I looked here...it worked great and I love this recipe! So easy. I was so stressed out about doing this, but you made it fun! Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you and yours 😁
Another question...about how long does it take to thicken up. I put mine in containers and just checked them...looked really nice and creamy and thick til I tilted the bottle and about 1/2 way down it was almost like milk 🤔
Jessica, dont skip warming the milk and water. If I understand correctly, the reason you warm them is to have all of the ingredients close to the same temperature when you mix the oils into the water/milk mixture.
New subscriber here. Is that lotion good to use right away? Or, does it need to rest for awhile? Also, would it be possible to have you post the recipe in thre description box? Thank you, Rocks Corner
Rocks Corner it’s good to use as soon as it’s made. Clean the bowl and rub it on your good to go. Thanks for subscribing and we will get the recipe in the description in a bit.

I could do that. Thanks.
Best recipe on You Tube!
Thank you!!
Thank you I am going to try this..I have been looking for a lotion for goat soap.

I would just blend longer. Thank you!
Loved this!❤️
Hi could you post your recipe please, and I loved your video
Lynne Rauch thank you! In the drop down description of the video we put the recipe.
I have make homemade lotion, I use a icing bag to fill my bottles, but most of the time I use quarter pint jars.
Hi there. Love and greetings from Pretoria, South Africa. Why do you add distilled water ? Can we not omit the water and use goat milk only? Thanks for sharing.😊
That’s the recipe I was taught. If you try it, you may need to increase the preservative. Not sure if that works
@@VWFamilyFarm thanks again.
This was really nice. I know you said that you only make it for friends and family. But have you considered selling this product. I would totally buy it.
We’ve sold some in the past. We usually post a video when we sell it. So, keep an eye out for the future!
How long will it last?
How many 8 oz bottles of lotion does that recipe make?
6-7
Great video ! How many 8 oz bottles does your recipe normally make?
Six. Thank you!
How wonderful, now I just need goat's milk....haha or buy some of yours. Thank Andrea.

It shouldn’t matter
Thank you for sharing, going to try it this weekend
Is this a body lotion or face lotion. or both
Both
What about milk souring? I had talked with bramble berry and then didnt recommend using milk because of that? I'd love to make it with milk as I make regular lotions.
Cedar Gait Farm I have never had it sour and I've had some several years.
VW Family Farm good to know! I'll have to try a batch this year!
Thank you for this vid, how did you come up with the recipe, I have a couple of questions, can we add honey and beeswax to replace the preservative? And do we have to use water, can it all be the milk for the liquid?
I am not sure about altering it. With milk in the recipe I am afraid it would grow bacteria without a preservative.
Thank you for sharing your recipe. It is very informative and easy to understand. I want to try making my own lotion using your recipe and was wondering which Optiphen you use.

I have only ever used just Optiphen and just emulsifying wax.
Thank you.
Does anyone know how to make goat milk candles? Any videos?
We don’t have a video, but that sounds cool!
I know this is a 2 year old video. I really would like to make it. However I want to try to make it more of a thick cream or butter. Is there any way to use a goats milk powder to cut down on the liquid ratio and allow a thicker butter consistency?
I would not change the ratio, I would just blend longer. If that doesn’t work, I would just find a body butter recipe.
Hi had a question. If I am using powder goat milk. Do I still need to add the 18ounces of water since I have to mix the powder with water?
Yes.
Ok

I love your videos! I have a question. I followed this recipe and my lotion is expanding and the bottle explodes every time I open it. Did I do something wrong?
Oh no! I have never heard of that!
@@VWFamilyFarm shoot! Ok! I'll try again! Thanks for the reply!
So are you pasteurizing in the microwave? Or doing the old school stove method first, then just microwaving for the recipe? Just trying to clarify. Great video!
Thanks!
Jrose14 yes pasteurizing the old school way. Just using the microwave in the recipe for convenience.
Jrose14 thanks for watching!
I stumbled across your recipe on the lotion - very nice and straight forward. I have plenty of goats for milk too. Do you sell this homemade product? or is it just a hobby to share with your friends? I ask, bc I'd like to do something like this for a little side business! thanks for sharing.
Josh O Hernell sorry I missed this comment! I sell and give away for gifts. Thanks for watching!
How long is the shelf life on this lotion? Does it need to be refrigerated?
I still have some of the first batch I ever made from several years ago. It doesn't need refrigeration with the preservative.
Can you use an emulsifying blender?
Yes. I have actually done it and it worked fine.
I already tried before I looked here...it worked great and I love this recipe! So easy. I was so stressed out about doing this, but you made it fun! Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you and yours 😁
Another question...about how long does it take to thicken up. I put mine in containers and just checked them...looked really nice and creamy and thick til I tilted the bottle and about 1/2 way down it was almost like milk 🤔
I checked it again when we got home ed from Church tonight...much better now! I just love the way it feels 😁
Do you have to pasteurize the goats milk first?
Yes
can I use goat's milk purchased in a store that is pasteurized?
yes!
If using goats milk that is already pasteurized from the store do I skip the warming up of the milk and distilled water?
Jessica, dont skip warming the milk and water. If I understand correctly, the reason you warm them is to have all of the ingredients close to the same temperature when you mix the oils into the water/milk mixture.
Could I use coconut oil instead of avocado oil?
I’ve never tried that, so I don’t know. I wouldn’t think so because they have different melting points.
Can you make lotion from kefir too?
I haven't heard of that.. hmmm. Let me know if you do.
can I use powdered goat milk?
Laura M sorry I missed this. I would think you could, but I never have.
New subscriber here.
Is that lotion good to use right away? Or, does it need to rest for awhile?
