We weigh all soaps six weeks after we make them to make sure they’re heavy enough. As the soaps get older, they last longer. But they might get a bit lighter over time because they lose some water weight.

Raw Goat Milk
Unlike many other soapmakers, we use fresh, raw goat milk from our own herd of healthy, pastured dairy goats. Our milk travels just a few hundred feet from our milking parlor to our soaproom. It doesn't have to travel hundreds of miles or be turned into powder. In fact, we often make our soap the same day we milk our goats! Goat milk naturally contains vitamins, minerals, fats, and lactic acid. It's one of the key ingredients that makes our handmade goat milk soap special and helps create a creamy lather that leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.

Natural Fats
We use lard because it makes a wonderful bar of soap! Lard contains fatty acids such as oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids. These fats help create a firm, long-lasting bar with a rich, creamy lather. During soapmaking, natural fats react with lye to form soap and glycerin. Glycerin helps attract moisture, while the finished soap gently washes away dirt and oil without leaving skin feeling stripped.

Coconut Oil
Coconut oil helps our goat milk soap create a rich, bubbly lather that washes away dirt and everyday impurities. It also helps make a firm bar that cleans well and rinses easily. Combined with our other soapmaking ingredients, coconut oil contributes to a pleasant washing experience that leaves skin feeling fresh and clean.

Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil contains fatty acids, including linoleic and oleic acids, and naturally contains vitamin E. We add sunflower oil to our soap recipe because its fatty acid blend helps balance the cleansing and lathering properties of the finished bar. Together with goat milk and our other ingredients, it helps us make a soap that leaves your skin feeling clean, soft, and smooth.

Essential Oils
Essential oils are natural, plant-derived oils that add wonderful scents to our goat milk soap. Each essential oil has its own unique aroma, ranging from calming and relaxing to fresh and uplifting. Often used in aromatherapy, essential oils provide a natural way to enjoy a variety of pleasant scents without using synthetic fragrances.

What Does Saponified Mean?
Saponification is the natural chemical reaction that turns fats and oils into soap. We use sodium hydroxide (lye) to make our bar soap and potassium hydroxide to make our liquid soap. During soapmaking, the lye reacts with the fats and oils to form soap and glycerin. When soap is made correctly, the lye is used up in this reaction, so no unreacted lye remains in the finished product.

That's how we turn simple ingredients into handmade goat milk soap!

1. Wet. Get both your skin and the soap wet.
2. Lather. Use your hands, a washcloth, or rub directly on your skin.
3. Wash. Safe to use on your entire body, including your face and delicate areas. Avoid getting lather directly in your eyes.
4. Rinse. Thoroughly wash off all the soap lather.
5. Store Properly. After using, place the soap on a soap rest to dry thoroughly. This will help it last longer.
6. Patch Test First. This soap should feel fantastic all over your body, except directly in your eyes. To discover any possible allergic reaction, test the soap on a small area of skin first.
