Luffa Tea Tree Goat Milk Soap

Crisp and clean, the Tea Tree scent is strong, camphor-like, and slightly medicinal thanks to its variety of healing phytochemicals. Derived from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, a small tree native to Australia, Tea Tree oil is believed to have antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. In fact, our Tea Tree luffa goat milk soap is a top pick for those with acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Somewhat similar in smell to peppermint and eucalyptus, Tea Tree is sometimes used as a natural deodorant, but in addition to keeping you smelling clean and fresh, it will also help you feel renewed and invigorated.

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.

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.

1. Wet. Get both your skin and the soap wet.
2. Lather. Rub the luffa soap over your skin to create a lather. Avoid getting it directly in your eyes.
3. Exfoliate. Focus on areas like heels, elbows, or knees. For facial use, apply carefully just once or twice a week to avoid over-exfoliation.
4. Rinse. Thoroughly wash off all the soap lather.
5. Store Properly. After using, place the luffa soap on a soap dish or soap rest to dry thoroughly. This will help it last longer.
6. Patch Test First. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, test the soap on a small area of skin and discontinue if irritation occurs.

Please be aware that it will take a few uses before the luffa sponge is fully exposed.
