ABSTRACT:
This project aims to develop and evaluate the efficacy of goat milk soap as a natural, nourishing, and moisturizing cleansing product. Goat milk soap is rich in nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that can help soothe and hydrate the skin. Our formulation combines goat milk with natural ingredients and essential oils to create a gentle, non-irritating soap suitable for various skin types. The soap's physical and chemical properties were evaluated, and its moisturizing and nourishing effects were assessed through user trials. Results showed that the goat milk soap effectively moisturized and soothed dry skin, improved skin elasticity, and reduced irritation. This project demonstrates the potential of goat milk soap as a natural, effective, and gentle skin care product.
