Recipe for making goat's milk body butter from scratch.33oz liquid glycerin
1 oz stearic acid
1.6 oz emulsifying wax
0.8 oz mango butter
1 oz avocado oil
0.7 oz jojoba oil
1 oz apricot kernel oil
1 oz soy oil
19 oz Soap Crafters aloe liquid
8.8 oz pasteurized goat's milk
1 tsp vitamin e
½ tsp blue lilac fragrance (if desired)

Other needed items:
scale
8 4-oz salve jars

Stick Blender

Put the first 9 ingredients (liquid glycerin to the aloe) in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. While it is microwaving, pour the goat's milk into a glass measuring cup.

After the 3 minutes stir the mixture and then put the bowl and the measuring cup with the goat's milk into the microwave. Heat on high for 2 minutes. Take the containers out of the microwave and check them. You want to heat until all the ingredients are melted (about 5-10 minutes depending on your microwave).

The ingredients in your bowl will look milky when they have melted completely. Do not heat to boiling. The goat's milk will also feel quite warm. Do not allow it to go over 130 degrees, hotter than 130 will kill off the antimicrobial in the Aloe Liquid.

When the first nine ingredients have melted and the goat's milk is warm, mix the aloe in with the goat's milk. Now you're ready to mix!

Put the warm goat's milk and aloe into the melted mixture and mix with a stick blender or hand mixer for about 2 minutes. Let mixture sit for about 10 minutes then stick blend it for about 2 minutes. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes then blend for 1 minute. About this time it should be starting to get thick and creamy. Let it sit for another five minutes and then blend in the vitamin e, preservative and fragrance. Spoon into jars.

A preservative is not necessary if you use Soap Crafters' Aloe Liquid because our Aloe Liquid has all the antimicrobial that is needed in the recipe.
