One of our most popular products at Big Red Barn is Goat Milk Lotion.

And for good reason! There is nothing quite as powerfully moisturizing as goat milk, and when you create a lotion with that as the key ingredient.... your skin is in for a treat! 

This past year, we started teaching Goat Milk Soapmaking classes, and one of the most common questions we receive is...

"When will you teach a Goat Milk Lotion class?"

And so, we are diving into teaching lotion classes occasionally now as well! Making your own handmade lotion can be a wonderful hobby, a creative way to give gifts, or even something to sell in your business.

As you are getting ready to make your first batches of Goat Milk Lotion, you will want to collect up the needed ingredients and supplies. And so, here's what you'll want to have on hand. 

(Note - if you'd like to make the shopping easiest, we've put together a Lotion Kit - where you get all of the ingredients below in quantities for 3 large bottle of lotion.)
