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.

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.

Sweet Almond Oil 
Sweet almond oil is a natural emollient, so it helps moisturize your skin. It’s easily absorbed into skin and contains fatty acids that help to keep skin soft and supple.

It is also anti-inflammatory so it can help soothe and calm irritated 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.

Sustainable Palm Oil
Palm oil has great cleansing properties, making it effective at removing dirt, oils, and impurities from the skin. It creates a creamy and stable lather in soap, making the soap rich and foamy! It can help retain moisture in the skin by forming a protective barrier. It contributes to the durability and longevity of the soap, making it less likely to dissolve or become mushy when in contact with water. Sustainable palm oil production helps to end deforestation, protect wildlife and habitats, and treat local people fairly.

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 promotes collagen production which helps to heal any minor cuts and nicks from shaving. It also has anti-bacterial properties which aids in preventing skin infections.

Bentonite Clay
Bentonite clay is highly absorbent and can draw out excess oil from the skin. It is a mild exfoliator and helps remove dead skin cells. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe and calm skin that is irritated from shaving. It can also help your razor to glide more smoothly over your skin. Because it is rich in minerals such as magnesium and calcium, it can help to heal skin that has been nicked by razors during shaving which can support skin healing and promote overall skin health.

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.

Fragrance Oils
Some of our most popular goat milk soaps are scented with fragrance oils. These scents can't be derived from plants and need to be created with a synthetic component. All fragrance oils are certified paraben-free and phthalate-free.  

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. 

1. Prepare the Skin: Wet the skin you want to shave (face, legs, etc.) with warm water. You can take a shower or use a warm, wet cloth for a few minutes to make the hair soft.
2. Create a Lather: Wet a high-quality shave brush and swirl it on the shaving soap in a mug or bowl to create a thick, creamy lather. Alternatively, rub the soap with your hands or a soft cloth to create the lather.
3. Apply the Lather: Spread the bubbly soap on the spot you’re going to shave. Make sure it covers all the hair so the razor can slide easily..
4. Shave Carefully: Use a good quality razor and shave with small, soft moves in the way the hair grows. Rinse the razor with hot water after a few swipes. Add more lather if you need to shave again.
5. Rinse with Cool Water: After shaving, rinse the shaved area with cool water to close pores and soothe any minor nicks or irritation.
6. Pat Dry: Gently pat the skin dry with a clean towel.
7. Store Properly. After using, place the soap on a soap rest to dry thoroughly. This will help it last longer.
