Ingredients
-
Fresh goat's milk from our herd Goat milk is rich in both saturated and unsaturated fats. Saturated fats can increase soap’s lather while unsaturated fats can provide moisturizing and nourishing properties. Naturally it contains nutrients, like lactic acid, which can exfoliate, help skin stay healthy, and maintain a good microbiome.
-
Olive oil High in oleic acid, olive oil helps create a long-lasting soap with gentle cleansing and can help soften skin.
-
Coconut oil Coconut oil can add cleansing, hardening and skin-loving properties to soap including rich lather and moisturizing effects. It is comprised mainly of saturated fats, like lauric acid, which can help rid skin of bacteria.
-
Sustainably grown palm oil Natural palm oil is high in vitamin A and E which can help keep the skin nourished. In soap making it's provides great lathering and hardening properties.There is a lot of controversy regarding the topic of palm oil. The product I use comes from a supplier that's part of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.
-
Sodium hydroxide (lye) Lye is a key ingredient in soap making because it reacts with fats and oils to create soap. This process is called saponification and once the reaction is complete there is no lye left in the soap. Without lye and this process, the oils would stay and no soap would be rendered.

Castor oil Castor oil creates bubbly lather and can help draw moisture to the skin.
