Soap FAQ
Small batch, handcrafted fresh GOAT’S MILK SOAP; All-Natural ingredients and health-inspiring Essential Oil blends; No Parabens, fragrances, phthalates, sodium laureth (lauryl) sulfates.
Farm-to-Face Fresh
Out of the abundance of fresh goat’s milk, farm-raised lard and organically grown herbs and flowers, our natural soaps are designed with love and care from start to finish. Our goats are given the best alfalfa hay grown right here on our homestead which produces a rich, nutritious and delicious milk that is perfect for drinking and of course, providing the basis for all our wonderful soaps.
Why goat’s milk?
We chose to raise dairy goats because of the multitude of health benefits found in raw, fresh milk that can no longer be found in today’s commercial pasteurization of large-scale dairy. Fresh Milk is used in all our soaps because it :
- Is full of vitamins and minerals that are amazing for your skin,
- Is richly moisturizing,
- Relieves inflammation,
- Has natural antibacterial properties to soothe a variety of skin issues, including eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and other skin infections.
Why does my soap contain LARD?
Out of the abundance of fresh goat’s milk, farm-raised lard and organically grown herbs and flowers, our natural soaps are designed with love and care from start to finish. Our goats are given the best alfalfa hay grown right here on our homestead which produces a rich, nutritious and delicious milk that is perfect for drinking and of course, providing the basis for all our wonderful soaps.
Farm-to-Face Fresh
Established out of a passion for sustainable farming and making full potential of products we have grown and raised on our own farm, we also raise, process and render our own lard from heritage bred pigs. Lard is a highly absorbable fat that your skin just naturally soaks in. We choose lard instead of unsustainable and unethically grown palm oils that are commonly found in skin care products. We know exactly what goes into the pigs we raise on the homestead, and we are confident of their ethical and overall proper treatment while they are with us here!
Why do you use Essential Oils instead of Fragrance Oils?
Fragrance oils are synthetic aromas that are produced in a lab. There are numerous health issues associated with these often over-powering scents that are found in almost ALL health and beauty products on the market today. On the other hand, the health BENEFITS found in Essential Oils make our soaps not only smell wonderful, but you can be confident that you are not exposing yourself and loved ones to unnecessary harmful agents. We also avoid lab-created oxides & pigments and instead, we add wonderful colours to our soaps by adding naturally grown herbs and flowers (many grown here in the ever-expanding herb garden).
Highlights
All our soaps are handcrafted with fresh goat’s milk from our own herd of Nubian and Nigerian Dwarf goats. Both breeds of dairy goats are known for their high levels of milk fat which makes a rich moisturizing and luxurious soap. Using only the purest and ethically sourced ingredients, we combine essential oils for a unique and pleasurable bathing experience. Although essential oils are not as ‘strong’ and overwhelming as a fragrance oil, the benefits of EOs far outweigh the harmful effects of fragrance use over time. We have chosen NOT to use ANY harmful fragrances, preservatives, or chemicals in ANY of our soap recipes. Our subtle colours are obtained from natural clays, herbs, herbal infusions and natural plant dyes.
We also do our best to use only bio-friendly packaging.
Handcrafted bars are individually unique and may not be exactly as shown in photos. Ingredients are consistent with each batch, however, sometimes we try new techniques with swirls and designs, or add top décor for visual appeal.
