Raw Goat Milk
Unlike our competitors, we only use goat milk from our own herd of healthy, pastured dairy goats. Our milk travels several hundred feet from our milking parlor to our soaproom. It isn't transported hundreds of miles and it's often turned into soap the same day it is collected. This ultra-fresh milk is as healthy as possible and is high in skin-nourishing ingredients like Selenium, Vitamin A, and Lactic Acid.

Natural Fats
Lard contains a blend of fatty acids, including oleic, palmitic, and lauric acids, which nourish and protect the skin. It is also a rich source of vitamins A and D, both essential for skin health. These vitamins promote cell repair, reduce inflammation, and guard against environmental damage. Glycerin is a natural humectant that helps the skin retain moisture, making lard glycerides particularly beneficial for dry or sensitive skin. Studies also indicate that lard glycerides have mild antimicrobial properties, supporting skin health and reducing acne-causing bacteria.

Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer that can make your skin feel soft and smooth. Coconut oil has antimicrobial properties, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help treat skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Coconut oil has a small amount of natural SPF, so it can provide some minor sun protection for your skin. Coconut oil contains vitamin E, which can help even out your skin tone and reduce dark spots.

Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is known for its nourishing and moisturizing properties. It has vitamin E, which is great for moisturizing your skin. It has a type of fatty acid called linoleic acid that can help improve your skin's natural barrier and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It has lots of antioxidants that can help protect your skin from damage caused by the sun and pollution. If your skin is irritated and itchy, sunflower oil can help calm it down. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce redness and swelling.

Orange Essential Oil
Orange essential oil is believed to be anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and an aid in the digestion process. It has also been suggested that it can help make your skin smooth and healthy, whiten your teeth, relax muscles, deliver antioxidants (which support your immune system), and flush toxins out of your body. One verified positive effect of orange essential oil is that it can act as an antidepressant as well as an anxiolytic, which means it helps to inhibit anxiety. Simply smelling the orange aroma will likely serve to improve your mood.

Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender is an adaptoge that contains a 'normalizing effect' which counteracts stressors. As such, it may help with difficulty sleeping, anxiety, stress, nervous tension, emotional stress, mild cases of depression, and tension headaches. It’s antiseptic and antifungal properties may help alleviate acne, psoriasis, skin inflammations, and even wrinkles. It can help keep mosquitoes away and some have even used it in the treatment of head lice and nits.

Tea Tree Essential Oil
Tea Tree essential oil contains compounds with powerful antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies show it may be as effective as benzoyl peroxide, a common acne medication, in treating acne. Its antifungal properties can disrupt the growth of fungal spores, paving the way for healthy skin and nails free of fungal infections. Tea tree oil can soothe itchy scalp and help relieve dandruff. Its antibacterial properties can prevent infection, while its anti-inflammatory action can reduce redness and swelling in cuts, scrapes, and burns.

Saponified
Saponification is the chemical soapmaking reaction that turns the ingredients into soap. We use sodium hydroxide as the catalyst for bar soap and potassium hydroxide as the catalyst for liquid soap. Neither of these ingredients are left in the finished soap. They have all been used up in the saponification reaction and turned into soap.

The Citrus Tea essential oil blend is a powerful, fragrant, and invigorating treat for the nose. Citrus, herbal, and tea tree essential oils are blended together, with the notes of orange, lavender, and tea tree shining through. Each essential oil plays a beneficial component in the blend, in addition to their wonderful scents. For example, orange and tea tree essential oils are both antimicrobial, which means they actually help fight odors by preventing bacterial growth! Citrus Tea is refreshing, bright, and a wonderful pick-me-up first thing in the morning or any time of day.
