A few months ago a friend showed me how to make goats milk lotion using fresh goats milk. She generally makes scented ones, but I wanted to roll with non-fragrance and non-coloured - keeping as simple as possible.
The first batch (a few months ago) seemed fine, then recently I made a couple of batches, using the same recipe - fresh goats milk, olive oil, stearic acid, emulsifier and preservative.
The beauty of the lotion was that it had no smell at all - very neutral.
However, about a fortnight after I made it, had a sniff and it smells a bit sour. Still feels really good and the colour (white) and consistency is the same. It's just the smell - a touch weird. Interestingly, the smell disappears from your skin after about 10 minutes.
Any clue what might have caused the sour smell? Do you think I should up the preservative?
Any help or suggestions most gratefully received..
