Tallow Goat Milk Soap

Tallow Goat Milk Soap has no added scent.

The unscented soap varieties smell like soap, yet do not have any added scents or fragrances (including essential oils!) to reduce the risk of irritation. Unscented soap does still have a smell because the ingredients used in soap production contain natural scents that we do not chemically remove. For example, coconut oil smells like coconut oil, milk smells like milk, and unscented soap smells like unscented soap.

If you are hyper-sensitive to scents in general, start with a smaller sized bar to make sure the pure soap smell itself is not irritating.

Please be aware that we make many scented products in our Soaproom. While there is no added scent to the Tallow Goat Milk Soap itself, when you receive your soap you may be able to smell scents on the exterior of your soap and the packaging it arrives in. If you are extremely sensitive to scent, you can remove the packaging and even wash with the soap once to remove any scent that may have settled out of the air onto your soap.

We would love to someday have a separate building dedicated to unscented products and packaging, but unfortunately, we don't have that ability at present.

• Weighs between 4.0 and 4.8 ounces
• Measures approximately 3.5" x 1" x 2"
• Packaged in a labeled, draw-string, cotton bag

We weigh all soaps six weeks after we make them to make sure they’re heavy enough. As the soaps get older, they last longer. But they might get a bit lighter over time because they lose some water weight.

• Deep Moisturization: Tallow, rich in oleic and palmitic acids, forms a protective barrier, locking in moisture, while goat milk’s lactic acid and natural fats hydrate and soften dry skin.
• Nutrient-Rich: Packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K from tallow and goat milk, it supports skin repair, reduces inflammation, and protects against environmental damage.
• Gentle Exfoliation: Goat milk contains lactic acid, which gently exfoliates dead skin cells, promoting a smoother, brighter complexion without irritation.
• Soothing for Sensitive Skin: The creamy texture of goat milk combined with tallow’s skin-identical properties calms irritation and suits sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
• Mild Antimicrobial Action: Tallow’s natural antimicrobial properties, paired with goat milk’s soothing effects, may help reduce acne-causing bacteria and support clearer skin.
• Balanced Hydration: Goat milk’s natural humectants and tallow’s sebum-like structure maintain skin’s moisture balance, preventing dryness or oiliness.

Raw goat milk; Saponified natural fats (beef tallow), coconut oil, sunflower oil.

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
Beef tallow is a natural fat rich in fatty acids, including oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids. These fatty acids make tallow a popular ingredient in traditional soapmaking. When used in our handmade goat milk soap, beef tallow helps create a firm, long-lasting bar with a rich, creamy lather. Tallow has been used in soapmaking for generations and is valued for its ability to help leave skin feeling clean, soft, and smooth.

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.

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. Wet. Wet your skin and the soap with warm water.
2. Lather. Rub the soap between your hands, onto a washcloth, or directly onto your skin to create a creamy lather.
3. Wash. Gently wash your hands, face, and body. For external use only. Avoid direct contact with your eyes.
4. Rinse. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove all soap lather.
5. Keep Dry Between Uses. Place your soap on a soap rest that allows water to drain away. This helps your soap dry between uses so it lasts longer.
6. Patch Test First. If you're trying this soap for the first time, test it on a small area of skin before using it all over your body. Stop using it if irritation occurs.
