I am confused about the usage rate; what percentage is too much or too little to be equivalent to ready-to-drink Goat Milk? I want the concentration to be equivalent to ready-to-drink Goat Milk.
Answer
Goat Milk Powder Usage
Based on the product information provided for Goat Milk Powder (Preservative-Free), which is concentrated 8 times compared to regular liquid goat milk:
To achieve a concentration equivalent to regular liquid goat milk: You would need to use approximately 12.5% Goat Milk Powder mixed with 87.5% water. Since this product is preservative-free, you must add a suitable preservative to the mixture if you plan to store it for more than 5 days or outside of refrigeration (6-8°C). If no preservative is added, the mixture must be kept refrigerated and used within 5 days.
For a concentrated liquid soap formula: The recommended usage rate for this Goat Milk Powder in cosmetic products is 1-100%. To create a concentrated liquid soap, you would use a percentage higher than the 12.5% needed for simple reconstitution. The exact percentage for a 'concentrated' effect can vary depending on your desired formulation, but you can use any percentage within the 1-100% range that suits your recipe and desired richness. Remember to include a preservative in your liquid soap formula as the Goat Milk Powder itself does not contain one.
