What makes goat milk skin care different?

Goat Milk has a number of vitamins and qualities that are fantastic for our skin. Here is a video with more!

What is the cleaning agent?

Soap! Just soap! Our soap is true soap. Most commercial brands are not. They are a mixture of synthetic ingredients which they need a cleaning agent. Here is more on that!

Does your soap have lye in it?

A good question and one that I hear a lot! The short answer is no, but it is made with lye! I know, confusing! Here is a video with the explanation.

Can I use this on oily skin?

Yes! We have several products that are especially helpful for oily skin. Here is more information.

Why does my soap feel moist when I have not used it?

We call that 'sweating' but it is not actually coming from within the soap. The natural glycerin attracts the moisture from the air and causes water droplets to form.

What base do you use?

We don't use one! All of our products are made from scratch. No melt and pour, and no base. Individual ingredients added one at a time and mixed together! Here is a video explaining why we do not use a base.

I am sensitive to Bee's Wax. Which of your products do not contain bee's wax?

Bar soaps, liquid soaps as well as Hand & Body Lotion contain no bee's wax.

Why should I use your products and which one should I choose?

Well... I guess because they are good! Seriously though, here is a link to my answer in detail. Which Product is for What?

Do you make a shampoo?

Yes!! Here it is and here is some information about it.

Is your soap made with lye?

Yes! All soap is! Melt and pour as well as glycerin soaps are all made with lye. No soap is soap without it. Lye creates the chemical reaction that causes the saponification process to take place.

Is the soap harsh? Grandmaâ€™s was.

No! Goat Milk soap is particularly gentle. Very soothing for sensitive skin. Here is more about Goat Milk Soap and Lotions.

Does your soap lather?

Yes! No artificial lathering agents are added or needed. Our soaps have a silky luxurious lather that works great with a cloth, hands or a body buffer.

Are your products safe for babies?

Yes! Again, the fact that we use goat milk and natural ingredients make our products great for all skin types, including babies. You may try the Unscented products if you are unsure how sensitive your baby is.

Will these products get rid of wrinkles?

No guarantees, but if you use our soap along with a moisturizer, you will have healthy, fresh, hydrated skin which will definitely look better! See more in my blog about Younger Looking Skin.

You will find this in the ingredients list for all of my moisturizers and lotions. Since I am using fresh goat milk, I need to use a preservative. I have chosen this one because it takes a very small amount (0.9%), there is NO paraben or formaldehyde and it works!

Do you really make all this?

Yes I/we do. One batch at a time, but we have grown, so I now have someone who helps make all of the products. And my husband does most all of the cooking! Go to my blog on this for more information and a video!

I have a question regarding the deodorant. I just purchased it at the Local Roots. You mentioned the color because of the clay. Will it stain my clothes?

The feedback I received is that on white shirts they noticed that there was discoloration, but it did not stain. It washed out easily. The color was not noticeable on the outside of the shirt. I have not seen any discoloration on my husbandâ€™s shirts or mine though. Maybe it depends on the person.

What method of shipping should I choose?

Of course, this is up to you but here is what I know. Priority mail is a bit more expensive and promises to TRY to deliver within 2 days. This is business days only and sometimes other factors can cause it to take longer. USPS does not guarantee 2 day delivery. First class is less expensive and generally has 2-5 day delivery. This varies according to the distance the package needs to travel.

Benefits of Goat Milk Soap for your Skin

When I first started making goat milk skin care products, people didn't really know why goat milk is good for your skin. Over the years, the popularity has grown and many have now experienced the benefits first hand.

Goat milk for skin care is not new! For centuries, milk has been a beauty staple—legend says Cleopatra bathed in milk for luminous skin. Today, goat milk soap brings that timeless tradition to your daily routine with gentle, effective care.

Our story with goat milk soap began in 2000. When I first used a bar, my skin felt soft, clean, and never dry or irritated. As questions came in over the years, I dug deeper—and discovered why goat milk soap stands apart.

Why goat milk soap works

Rich, creamy lather: The high butterfat content creates a lush, hydrating cleanse that soothes as it washes.
Vitamin and mineral boost: Naturally occurring vitamins A, D, and minerals nourish and support healthy-looking skin. Vitamin A is natural retinol!
Skin-friendly pH: A pH close to skin’s own helps reduce disruption and supports quicker rebalancing after cleansing.
No added water: Our bar soap is made without water, concentrating the benefits of real goat milk.
Minimal ingredients: A short, transparent ingredient list—no unnecessary additives.
No harsh chemicals: Gentle by design for everyday use.
Natural alpha hydroxy acids: Helps refine texture and reveal smoother, brighter skin.
Calming by nature: Goat milk has natural anti-inflammatory properties for comforted, happy skin.

Microbiome and skin barrier support

Goat milk soap helps respect the skin’s microbiome with its mild, low-alkaline cleanse that avoids stripping beneficial microbes. (In simple terms, goat milk Ph is very close to ours so it does not leave your skin stressed.) The creamy fats and naturally occurring lipids support the moisture barrier, helping reduce water loss through your skin, keeping skin feeling resilient, balanced, and comfortable. Regular use of goat milk soap can leave skin soft while maintaining a healthy barrier and microbiome harmony. For more detailed information on this here is a link to an article in Healthline.com

Cruelty free, always!

We love our goats so naturally we are cruelty free. Our goat milk soap, lotions, and moisturizers are made without animal testing, however, I do use our products on my goats because I know they are safe for them and they work!

Goat milk soap is hydrating, soothing, and nourishing and has helped many get relief from eczema, acne and dry skin. Healthy skin is happy skin! We keep it simple!

Goat Milk Soaps including Charcoal & Baby Soaps

Our goat milk soap is gentle, hydrating and nourishing. While our basic recipe is the same, we change it up a bit for each variety allowing us to offer soap bars that are helpful for different skin types as well as some that are just plain good! None of our goat milk soaps have any fragrance oils in them, only natural essential oils. Essential oils each bring different additional benefits with them, making each bar unique. Of course, some have no essential oils, such as the Honey & Oats or Charcoal. We also change the oils in some of the recipes to make specific bars more helpful for certain uses, such as our Shampoo Bar or Frankincense which is made with no coconut oil for those who are sensitive to that!
