Methods for preparing tools and materials, the processes used in soap making consist of three methods, namely the cold process method, the hot process method, and the melt and pour method, as well as organoleptic analysis testing, soap acidity level (pH) testing, and laboratory testing for heavy metal, bacteria, and fungus content in accordance with SNI 06-3532-1994. Organoleptic analysis was carried out by visually observing the results of the soap formulation which included dark brown color, softer texture, fragrant aroma of mangosteen fragrance extract, foam that foams easily, sensation when and after use is rough and moist. Analysis of the degree of acidity pH 7 is normal. The results of the simplo and duplo heavy metal tests from the PT Saraswanti Indo Genetech laboratory include; mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, and 1.4 dioxane no detected. The simplo and duplo bacteria tests for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus were negative. The simplo and duplo fungus tests for Candida albicans were negative, but the simplo and duplo yeast mold fungi were found to be <10 according to the total plate count (ALT) of simplo 6.0x101 and duplo 3.0x101, so in the process we must improve its hygiene production and packaging. Originality produces of innovation in goat milk soap with mangosteen peel extract: Efforts to improve the economy through new knowledge.
