What is the difference between commercial "soaps" and ours!  Do you know what's in your soap?

The question of why we use palm oil comes up a lot.  Mostly, it is good for us!  This oil comes mostly from the African Palm.   It is extracted from the pulp and kernel of the fruit.  Since it is made from the fruit, the plant is not destroyed!  The color is orange - red because it is rich in beta-carotene but becomes white when boiled.  We use pure palm oil, not processed flakes. Most of the benefits are lost in the process of making the flakes.             Natural Palm oil                                          Palm oil flakes Benefits in...

 Obviously, our main products are made with goat milk.  Fresh goat milk, not powder or a premade “base”.  We use the milk from our farm.  Our animals are fed organic grain and hay plus they have free access to pasture.  Our goats are happy and content, so they produce rich, wholesome milk which is sweet and yummy!

  Glycerin can be made from either vegetable oils or animal fat.   I use raw vegetable glycerin in my moisturizers and facial creams, but the soap is full of natural glycerin on its own.  In its natural state it is a thick sweet syrupy liquid.  Even though it is syrupy, it is not sticky rather it is smooth and sliky. Here are some of the benefits of using glycerin on your skin: It helps retain moisture, therefore keeping your skin hydrated throughout the day.  This is why the soap is hydrating also. This quality of retaining moisture also helps heal oily skin and the problems that come with it.  (Once again, both soap and moisturizer will be helpful). Helps aging skin! ...
