Luffa Peppermint Goat Milk Soap

This Goat Milk Soap Luffa is hand-cut and measures between .75" and 1" thick. This is the perfect size for showering so it won’t slip out of your hand. Each Goat Milk Soap Luffa comes in a breathable cotton bag to save on plastic packaging.

All soaps are weighed after their 6 week curing period. If they fall in the appropriate weight range, they are bagged. Please remember that as Goat Milk Soap ages and cures, it loses some water weight. So if the soap you order is much older than 6 weeks, it may weigh a little less than listed. But the longer soap cures, the harder it gets and the longer it lasts!

Ingredients: Natural luffa; Raw goat milk; Saponified natural fats, coconut oil, sunflower oil; Peppermint essential oil.

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.

Peppermint Essential Oil
Peppermint essential oil has been shown to help increase blood circulation which makes it a good choice for people with diabetes or arthritis. It has antiseptic properties and can help fight bacteria. A published study found that wound dressings with peppermint essential oil added "exhibited inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positive) and Escherichia coli (gram-negative) bacteria." Another published study showed that peppermint essential oil was more effective than minoxidil (Rogaine) at improving hair growth.

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.

With its cool and invigorating aroma, Peppermint has a distinct and minty scent profile thanks to its makeup of menthol and menthone. A strong mental and physical stimulant, Peppermint revitalizes the senses with its sharp and refreshing scent. Dating back to ancient use in Egypt, Greece, and Rome for its healing properties like promoting easy breathing, mental clarity, and wakefulness, Peppermint is the ideal companion for general well-being.

Imagine the goodness of gentle exfoliation and the cleansing power of soap mixed together in one easy-to-use product. That’s exactly what our Goat Milk Soap Luffas are! Also known as loofahs, we pour our goat milk soap into a natural luffa sponge while the soap is still soft. Once it sets, we cut it into discs to create an easy-to-use exfoliating tool with built-in hydration to help keep your skin smooth and baby soft.

Goat Milk Soap Luffas keep skin soft by sloughing away dead skin cells that accumulate on your skin’s surface. This allows the fresh, new skin underneath to breathe, helping unclog pores and minimize the likelihood of white heads forming.

You might have heard of body brushing - this popular trend helps boost circulation, enhancing blood flow to your skin to increase cell turnover. Our Goat Milk Soap Luffas are the perfect way to try ‘wet body brushing’. You can gently exfoliate with the luffa while ensuring your skin stays moisturized thanks to the nourishing goat milk soap.
