Shampoo Almond Goat Milk Soap

Our Almond Shampoo Bar is brimming with that familiar, cherry-like fragrance we all know and love. A blended bitter almond essential oil produces a sweet aroma reminiscent of fresh baked treats, both warming and comforting. Research suggests that bitter almond essential oil contains skin-boosting, natural components, such as vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant for anti-aging. It is also thought to be antibacterial and antimicrobial, potentially reducing skin congestion like acne and pimples (similar to tea tree essential oil).

• Weighs between 4.0 and 4.8 ounces

• Packaged in a labeled, draw-string, cotton bag

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

Goat Milk Soap Shampoo Bars are a gentle way to cleanse your hair and scalp, leaving you with luscious, shining locks. Plus, they’re kinder to the planet and more nourishing for your hair than conventional chemical-based shampoos thanks to minimalist packaging and natural hair-loving ingredients.

Our Goat Milk Soap Shampoo Bars are made with natural hair care ingredients to leave your hair fresh and clean, and your scalp cleansed and calm. Nettle and rosemary are key to our Goat Milk Soap Shampoo Bars as they’re known for their ability to promote healthy hair growth. Plus we use nourishing oils and butters to help keep your hair healthy and soft. Here’s how they work:

• Nettle: Nettles are rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, handy ingredients that help to neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that can cause damage and change to your cells, including hair cells, which can lead to hair thinning. Plus, nettle also dilates blood vessels which helps your hair follicle get more oxygen and nutrients through your bloodstream. In other words, nettle helps create healthy hair.
• Rosemary: We use rosemary in our Goat Milk Soap Shampoo Bars for a similar reason to nettle; it’s amazing for hair growth. It works similarly to nettle as well — rosemary helps with blood flow to ensure maximum oxygen and nutrients are supplied to your scalp. If you like to hear the science behind these handy ingredients, one study found rosemary oil was as effective as ‘Rogaine’ for helping boost hair growth.
• Jojoba and Castor Oils: These oils help keep hair baby-soft, plus we use Shea and Cocoa Butters to nourish and smooth hair during the Goat Milk Shampoo washing process.

Boosting your hair and scalp health is super important, but with eight children and a handful of grandchildren, we think looking after the planet for future generations is pretty important too. By using Goat Milk Soap Shampoo Bars, you’re reducing the plastic containers you usually use with regular shampoos and conditioners. It’s a win/win!

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.

Olive Oil
Olive oil is a natural emollient, and can keep your skin hydrated and nourished. Its healthy fats can penetrate deeply into your skin, leaving it soft and supple. It is packed with antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols that can help neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation caused by sun damage. This can help prevent signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines. It contains anti-inflammatory compounds that can help soothe your skin as well as natural antimicrobial compounds that can help fight bacteria on your skin.

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.

Shea Butter
Shea butter is packed with fatty acids that help hydrate, nourish, and keep your skin soft. It helps balance sebum production which prevents the build-up of oil on your skin. It contains cinnamic acid, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties that can help to promote healing and prevent infection. It is rich in vitamins A and E, which can help improve skin elasticity and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It also contains antioxidants which help to protect skin from damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress.

Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter helps keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and soft because it creates a barrier that locks in moisture. It has lots of natural antioxidants that protect your skin from free radical damage caused by the sun and pollution. These antioxidants slow skin aging and can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines, so your healthy skin can look youthful for longer. It is also packed with essential fatty acids that help make your skin more elastic and firm which can also help repair skin damage and help reduce stretch marks and scars.

Castor Oil
If you have acne, rosacea, or any other inflammatory skin condition, castor oil's anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe your skin and reduce redness. It contains antimicrobial and antibacterial properties that can help prevent bacteria growth on your skin, which can help you avoid skin infections and breakouts. Castor oil is rich in antioxidants that can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your skin.

Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil goes deep into your skin to keep it feeling soft. It is ideal for any skin type, from dry skin to oily skin, as it suppresses oil production in the skin while keeping your skin hydrated. Jojoba mimics human sebum without clogging pores or exacerbating acne. It has natural anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties that can calm your skin. It is rich in antioxidants and vitamin E, which helps combat free radicals that cause premature aging.

Essential Oils
Essential oils are purely plant derived and can provide many benefits for you and your skin. From the relaxing and refreshing effects of oils often used in aromatherapy to the reduction of the effects of skin problems like acne, you will find these oils to be powerful, especially when combined with the wonderful qualities of goat milk.

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.

• Focus on Your Scalp: Clean your scalp, not your hair, for optimal results.
• Expect Limited Lather: The natural shampoo bars produce a mild lather because there are no chemical foaming agents added. Avoid trying to create a huge lather to prevent heavy or sticky hair.
• Use Sparingly: Start with a small amount focused on your scalp. Increase as needed.
• Allow Adjustment Period: Your hair may take a few days to a few weeks to adapt to a natural shampoo.
• Application Options: You can rub the shampoo directly on your hair or lather in your hands first. Experiment to find your preference and which way works best for you.
• Color-Treated Hair. Test first because results can vary. Some people report it extends their color: "I love the shampoo soap for my hair, helps to keep my colored hair from turning gray for a few weeks longer!"
