About Our Homemade Goat Milk Soaps

The goat milk we use for our soaps comes fresh from Ohio farms supporting Ohio Farmers.  The goats are hand milked and fed a steroid and antibiotic free diet.  We add certified organic oils to the soap making process whenever possible and use high quality direct from the manufacturer 100% concentrated fragrance oils or essential oils to scent our soaps.  Our soaps weigh at least 4 to 5 oz. per bar unless otherwise stated.  Our ingredients are:  Goat Milk, Soy, Cottonseed, Olive ,Coconut & Palm Oils, Fragrance and Sodium Hydroxide.  We do not color our soaps, the color you see is natural occuring.  Our soap making process takes 3 weeks to make per batch of soap, so if you have a special order please allow for that amount of time for your order to be complete 

When you use one of our bars of soap, you are nourishing your skin, which is the largest organ on your body.  The lather is penetrating and will leave your skin silky smooth with a soft feel.  If you have previously noticed "tight skin" from commercial soaps, you will enjoy the moisturizing benefits of goat's milk soap.  Many people tell us they no longer need to use lotions because of the regular use of our soaps.  Nutrients are retained because our soap is made in small, controlable batches of 6 lb. increments through cold processing and we monitor temperatures very closely.  Our soap is rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals which all nourish your skin.

Commercial soaps, commonly called beauty/deoderant/moisturizing bars dry out skin and leave unhealthy chemical residues.  There is a reason it is so cheap!  Commercial soap contains petroleum products (irritating to people with senstive skin), esters (known carcinogensics), alcohols (which dry your skin), low grade oils, waxes, fillers, detergents and preservatives.  Your skin absorbs those chemicals just like when people use the medicated transdermal patches.  Your body sees those chemicals as toxins and then tries to rid itself of them.  If what comes in contact with your skin is absorbed into your body, don't you think you should be careful about what you put on it?

 Commercial soaps also have the natural occurring glycerin stripped out of them to resell to you in the form of beauty bars and lotions at a higher price.  Our soaps have all of their natural occurring glycerin moisturizing benefits.  Milk has long been known for it's moisturizing properties and was a ancient beauty treatment of Cleopatra.  Cleopatra was known for her beautiful skin resulting from her famous milk baths.  Milk also has alpha hydroxy acids which break down the glue holding dead skin cells together.  Alpha hydroxy acid is well known for softening skin and leaving it rejuvenated for a young appearance. 

 Goat's Milk Soap has a PH level similiar to our skin, which helps protect the skin from invading bacteria and chemicals we come in contact with every day.  People who suffer from skin allergies, winter itchies, eczema, psoriasis and dry skin are frequent users of goat's milk soap.  While we can't tell you it will heal or help these conditions, we can tell you it will not furthur aggravate it.
