• Weighs between 4.0 and 4.8 ounces
• Measures approximately 3.5" x 1" x 2"
• Does not come in a cotton bag

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.

• Soothes Sensitive Skin: Raw goat milk, rich in selenium and vitamin A, calms irritation and redness, making this soap ideal for sensitive skin types, as praised by users like Lynn C. for its gentle cleansing.
• Deeply Moisturizes: Goat milk’s fatty acids and coconut oil’s lauric acid hydrate dry skin, leaving it soft and smooth without greasiness, as Pamela A. noted, eliminating her need for lotion.
• Antibacterial Acne Support: Bitter almond essential oil’s antimicrobial properties help reduce acne-causing bacteria, while goat milk’s lactic acid gently exfoliates, promoting clearer skin, as seen in Carol D.’s glowing results.
• Antioxidant Protection: Sunflower oil’s vitamin E and linoleic acid combat free radicals, potentially reducing signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles, enhancing skin’s natural barrier.
• Gentle Exfoliation: Goat milk’s alpha-hydroxy acids and cocoa powder lightly exfoliate, improving skin texture and leaving it radiant, as reported by users like Carol D. for facial cleansing.
• Warm, Cherry-Like Scent: The bitter almond essential oil provides a comforting, cherry-like fragrance reminiscent of fresh-baked treats, enhancing the bathing experience without overwhelming sensitive noses.
• Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective: The "naked" packaging-free design reduces environmental waste and saves money, aligning with sustainable choices while delivering a luxurious lather.

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. Wet your skin and the soap with warm water.
2. Lather. Rub the soap between your hands, onto a washcloth, or directly onto your skin to create a creamy lather.
3. Wash. Gently wash your hands, face, and body. For external use only. Avoid direct contact with your eyes.
4. Rinse. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove all soap lather.
5. Keep Dry Between Uses. Place your soap on a soap rest that allows water to drain away. This helps your soap dry between uses so it lasts longer.
6. Patch Test First. If you're trying this soap for the first time, test it on a small area of skin before using it all over your body. Stop using it if irritation occurs.
