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. Use for Handwashing Dishes: Rub the soap bar with a wet sponge, scrub brush, or washcloth to create lather.
2. Wash Dishes as Usual: Apply the lather to your dirty dishes to clean, effectively cutting through grease.
3. Keep Soap Dry Between Uses: Place the soap bar on a soap rest to ensure it dries completely, maximizing its lifespan.
4. Avoid Dishwasher Use: This soap is designed for handwashing dishes, not for use in automatic dishwashing machines.
