Calendula is an olive oil-based soap which makes it one of the gentlest soaps that we offer. The gentle nature of olive oil makes the Calendula Goat Milk Soap softer so that it will not last as long as our other goat milk soaps. If you or a loved one has skin that is in need of extra care, this is a wonderful and nourishing soap.

Goat milk soap provides many skin benefits, and the miracle of goat milk soap lies in the lactic acid, Vitamin A, Selenium, and other compounds it naturally contains. Lactic acid is a natural alpha-hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates the skin, revealing a youthful and radiant complexion. In addition to lactic acid’s anti-aging properties, goat milk also contains antioxidants, reducing the skin’s oxidative stress (did you know oxidative stress leads to premature aging?). All of these natural benefits are still gentle, meaning unscented goat milk soap can still be enjoyed by people with sensitive skin or skin conditions.

Skin health is amplified by the naturally occurring minerals of the milk, such as Selenium and Vitamin A, which helps in the repair of sun-damaged skin. Goat milk also contains cream that is incredibly nourishing and moisturizing, which assists in common skin problems like cracking, peeling, and eczema. Unscented goat milk soap thoroughly cleans and moisturizes your skin, while also caring for common skin concerns, all without added harsh chemicals.

Does goat milk soap really work?

The unscented soap varieties smell like soap, yet do not have any added scents or fragrances (including essential oils!) to reduce the risk of irritation. Unscented soap does still have a smell because the ingredients used in soap production contain natural scents that we do not chemically remove. For example, coconut oil smells like coconut oil, milk smells like milk, and unscented soap smells like unscented soap.

If you are hyper-sensitive to scents in general, start with a smaller sized bar to make sure the pure soap smell itself is not irritating.

Please be aware that we make many scented products in our Soaproom. While there is no added scent to the Calendula Goat Milk Soap itself, when you receive your soap you may be able to smell scents on the exterior of your soap and the packaging it arrives in. If you are extremely sensitive to scent, you can remove the packaging and even wash with the soap once to remove any scent that may have settled out of the air onto your soap.

We would love to someday have a separate building dedicated to unscented products and packaging, but unfortunately, we don't have that ability at present.

To use our unscented goat milk soap, get the soap wet and lather directly into your hands, or on a soft washcloth. The rich, creamy lather will leave your skin clean but not stripped, and after use, you may find that you don’t need to use lotion thanks to our deeply nourishing formula.

Feel free to use this natural soap anywhere including face, hands, and body, though do avoid getting the soap directly in your eyes. For those starting with incredibly sensitive skin, we suggest trying the travel size bar to make sure the soap does not irritate your skin.

Ingredients: Saponified calendula infused olive oil and castor oil; Raw goat milk.

Each Calendula Goat Milk Soap is available in a variety of sizes to suit your personal preferences. All soaps are weighed and meet the minimum weight six weeks after being made. As they continue to age and cure, they will last even longer although they may lose water weight, causing them to be slightly lighter.

Sizes and packaging include:

• Standard Cotton Bag: Weighs 4 to 4.8 ounces and measures approximately 3.5" x 1" x 2". Packaged in a labeled, draw-string cotton bag.
• Travel: Weighs 1 to 1.25 ounces and measures approximately 1" x 1" x 2". Packaged in a plastic bag containing a recyclable soap variety identification card.

Each different goat milk soap size fits differently in your hand and serves a different purpose depending on your needs. Regardless of size, each bar is long-lasting, so it is both a high value and high-quality product.

Calendula Goat Milk Soap is safe to apply all over your body, except for directly in your eyes. An allergic reaction may be possible, so prior to using it all over, conduct a patch test on a small area of skin first to discover any sensitivities. If you do have an allergic reaction, stop use immediately.
