Olive Oil

Olive oil is cherished for its exceptional moisturizing properties and ability to nourish and hydrate the skin deeply. Derived from the fruits of olive trees, olive oil is a natural and renewable resource. Traditional extraction methods, such as cold pressing, preserve its rich content of antioxidants and vitamins, ensuring robust protection against environmental stressors. Its gentle lather feels luxurious yet soft on the skin. The natural emollients in olive oil penetrate the skin, providing long-lasting moisture and a silky-smooth feel.

Goat Milk

Our Goat Milk Soap is hand-crafted with 100% Goat Milk from our our own goats here on our farm.  Goat milk enhances soap with a luxurious, creamy texture while delivering a host of skin-loving benefits.  It's rich in fatty acids and cholesterol, which provide excellent moisturizing properties, making it ideal for dry or sensitive skin.  Essential vitamins like A, D, and B6, along with minerals such as selenium, helps protect and nourish the skin, maintaining its health and vitality.  Lactic acid in goat milk offers gentle exfoliation, removing dead skin cells to reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion. With a pH level similar to human skin, goat milk helps maintain the skin's natural balance, offering protection against bacteria and harsh chemicals. Its soothing qualities make it particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin conditions as it can help reduce irritation and inflammation. 

Coconut Oil

Known for its exceptional moisturizing and nourishing properties, coconut oil is a key ingredient that enhances the soap's ability to hydrate and soften your skin. The moisturizing properties of Coconut Oil are unparalleled, offering deep hydration that leaves the skin feeling soft and supple and helps to lock in moisture and prevent dryness. One of the standout features of coconut oil is its ability to create a rich, luxurious lather without being stripping skin of its natural oils.  Coconut oil also possesses natural antibacterial qualities, which can help in maintaining clean and healthy skin.  Coconut oil provides a perfect blend of hydration, softness, and effective cleansing.

Sweet Almond Oil

Almond oil is celebrated for its rich moisturizing and nourishing properties. Packed with essential vitamins such as Vitamin E, A, and D, almond oil delivers deep hydration and essential nutrients to the skin, leaving it smooth and supple. Its gentle nature makes it an excellent choice for those with sensitive or dry skin, as it helps to soothe irritation and maintain a healthy balance.

Incorporating almond oil into soap not only enhances skin hydration but also improves skin tone and texture. Its emollient properties aid in keeping the skin soft and radiant, while helping to even out complexion and reduce the appearance of imperfections. The calming effects of almond oil are particularly beneficial for irritated or inflamed skin, providing a soothing touch that promotes overall skin health.

RSPO Palm Oil

Palm oil contributes to a rich, creamy lather, providing a luxurious feel and ensuring the bar lasts longer. It’s packed with moisturizing properties, thanks to its balanced mix of saturated and unsaturated fats, leaving your skin feeling soft and hydrated. Additionally, palm oil is rich in vitamins A and E, which are powerful antioxidants that help protect your skin from environmental damage. By choosing our Goat Milk Soap, you’re not only indulging in these skin-loving benefits but also supporting sustainable practices. We only use palm oil that is certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), ensuring it’s produced in an environmentally friendly manner, minimizing deforestation and protecting wildlife habitats. Enjoy the best of both worlds with our soap—nourishing care for your skin and a positive impact on the planet.

Cambrian Blue Clay

Cambrian blue clay is a naturally sourced mineral clay known for its rich, mineral-dense composition.  Its high mineral content, including silica, calcium, magnesium, and iron, works synergistically to detoxify the skin by drawing out impurities and toxins. The clay’s soothing properties are particularly beneficial for sensitive or irritated skin, as it helps to calm and reduce redness while promoting a healthy complexion.  Cambrian blue clay’s ability to gently exfoliate the skin contributes to a smoother, more refined texture, leaving the skin feeling soft and revitalized.

Rose Clay

Rose clay is made from a naturally occurring mineral called kaolinite. It gets its distinctive pink color from a combination of iron oxide and other trace minerals. Its gentle exfoliating properties help to remove dead skin cells and impurities, leaving your skin feeling smooth and refreshed without the harshness often associated with other exfoliants. It acts as a natural detoxifier, drawing out toxins and excess oils while promoting a balanced and harmonious skin tone.

Turmeric

Turmeric is a powerful natural ingredient rich in antioxidants to help combat the damaging effects of free radicals. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it especially beneficial for soothing irritated skin and reducing redness.  One of the standout benefits of turmeric in soap is its ability to improve skin tone. Regular use can help even out complexion and diminish the appearance of dark spots and blemishes, leaving skin with a radiant, natural glow.  Turmeric's antimicrobial properties can help reduce acne-causing bacteria, providing a clearer and healthier-looking complexion.

Charcoal

Charcoal offers a wide range of benefits to leave your skin feeling refreshed, clean, and revitalized. Its ability to deeply cleanse and detoxify the skin is unparalleled, effectively drawing out impurities and excess oil that clog pores. This makes charcoal particularly beneficial for those with acne-prone or oily skin, as it helps reduce breakouts and shine. Charcoal also possesses natural exfoliating properties, gently removing dead skin cells to reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion.

Glycerin

Plant-based glycerin, also known as vegetable glycerin, is a clear, odorless liquid derived from plant oils. Glycerin is a natural humectant renowned for its ability to attract moisture to the skin, making it a vital component in skincare products like soap. By drawing water into the skin, glycerin helps maintain hydration, keeping your skin soft and supple. Its gentle nature makes it an excellent choice for sensitive skin, as it soothes without causing irritation. Additionally, glycerin enhances skin texture and elasticity, contributing to a healthier, more youthful appearance. When incorporated into soap, glycerin boosts its moisturizing capabilities, leaving your skin feeling smooth, nourished, and thoroughly cared for.

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of lactic acid derived from the natural fermentation of sugars.  It is a good humectant that occurs naturally in the skin as part of the NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factors).  Sodium Lactate is known for its ability to significantly enhance the quality and performance of soap bars ensuring they maintain their shape and last longer.  Another key benefit of sodium lactate in soap formulations is its contribution to a creamier and richer lather.  Sodium lactate enhances the moisturizing properties of soap, drawing moisture to the skin and helping to maintain hydration, leaving the skin feeling soft and nourished after use.

Color

Our soaps are beautifully colored using natural clay, mica, or mineral pigments, steering clear of synthetic dyes. Each bar of soap may contain a unique blend of these colorants.  Please reach out to us for more detailed information about the specific colorants used in any particular bar of soap.
