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.

Lemongrass Essential Oil
Lemongrass essential oil has many antimicrobial properties and may help boost the immune system and fight against bacteria. One study says it was effective against bacterial organisms that cause skin and blood infections. In another study, it was effective against Acinetobacter baumannii, a bacteria that causes pneumonia. It provides antifungal effects and can potentially help treat fungal infections like athlete’s foot. It has antioxidant properties that can help with skin issues and improve cellular repair. As an antioxidant, lemongrass can get rid of free radicals, thus reducing the oxidative stress on your skin.

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.

Native to Southeast Asia, Lemongrass embodies a fresh and citrusy scent that reduces stress and promotes mental clarity. Lemongrass contains limonene, a flavonoid reported to reduce inflammation, which is one reason it has been used for thousands of years as an herbal medicine and cooking staple. Crisp and revitalizing with hints of lemon, the scent is the perfect pick-me-up for sluggish, low-energy days.

This multipurpose essential oil has very therapeutic anti-microbial properties and can help support immune responses because it is capable of destroying bacteria and germs. Studies have shown that Lemongrass essential oil is also helpful in soothing and lessening the irritation and rashes associated with Candida - a naturally occurring yeasty fungus that can sometimes get out of control in our systems. Athlete's foot and other bacterial infections may also be soothed and calmed with Lemongrass essential oil.

The astringent and bacterial destruction qualities may also be effective in treating acne - whether it is ongoing or occasional outbreaks. Oily skin can be lessened with regular use of our Lemongrass Essential oil soap, without fear of over-drying.

And to further promote the goodness of lemongrass essential oil - irritating pests such as mosquitoes, fleas, lice and ticks are often repelled by the scent of this versatile essential oil. In fact, many citronella products are actually a blend of citronella and Lemongrass Essential Oil.

We’ve maximized the goodness of our goat milk soap by adding this phenomenal essential oil. This soap is a natural alternative to detergent-heavy synthetic soaps that dry out your skin and throw off its true balance. Essential oils add their own goodness and complement the power of the vitamins, alpha-hydroxy acids, and minerals that naturally occur in goat milk bar soap.
