What's in your handmade goats milk soap?

We make all of our goat milk soaps completely from scratch, using raw ingredients and recipes that we have created. All soaps are made with oils or fat, liquid and sodium hydroxide (lye). We use Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Avocado Oil, Castor Oil and Shea Butter in our goat milk soaps. There is over 1 ounce of goat milk in each bar.


Is your goat milk soap really handmade?

Yes, our soap is really handmade by me! Our goat milk soap recipe starts from scratch, using 100% goat milk from our own herd of Nigerian dwarf goats. We don’t use any base recipes. Our all natural goats milk soaps are formulated with a wide variety of natural ingredients reputed for their benefits and are all made using the traditional cold process method.

We start out by getting the milk from the farm’s goats, and then freeze the milk in ice cube trays. Once the lye is dissolved we mix that in with our oils, add the fragrance and colorant and then pour in our molds. The soap logs are un-molded the day after they are made, cut and then placed on our curing rack from 6 weeks. Then they are ready for use.


Do you test your goat milk soap and goat milk lotion on animals?

We do not test any of our products on animals.


Do your soaps contain synthetic detergents?

We do not use any synthetic detergents in our soaps or lotions. There are no preservatives in our soaps, but there are preservatives in our lotions.

Do you have any goat milk soap for people allergic to fragrances?

Goat milk soap is excellent for sensitive skin. We usually suggest people start out with the unscented and then try some of our other scented soaps if the unscented works for you. Most of our customers with sensitive skin like to use our tea tree essential oil soap or our oats milk and honey soap.

How long does a bar of your goat milk soap typically last?

What should I do to make my soap last longer?

To make your soap last longer you should let it dry out in between uses. Keep your soaps in a dry, ventilated area when not in use. Place it on a soap dish that drains for remove it from your shower area. If left wet you will not get many uses out of it.
