What's In Our Soap

What we put in it

Every bar, bottle, and box — ingredient by ingredient.

We keep our ingredients simple and our labels honest. Here's exactly what goes into each of our handmade products.

Liquid Soap

Everyday Liquid Soap

Delivering creamy, soothing proteins and vitamins in liquid form.

Good for: kitchen & bath refills, gift-giving

Ingredients

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Sunflower oil Sunflower oil is high in vitamin E which can help keep the skin nourished. In soap making it's helps create a rich, creamy lather that can be moisturizing to the skin.
  4. 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.
  5. Potassium 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.
  6. Distilled water Distilled water is water that has been boiled it into steam and then condensed back into liquid form in a separate container removing impurities and other contaminants from the water.
  7. Essential oils These are oils extracted from herbs, flowers and plants that create a natural scent. They are pure and can provide a wide range of benefits.

Laundry Powder

Laundry Soap Powder

An eco-friendly alternative to chemical detergents. It is free from harsh additives yet still provides a deep clean and is gentle on fabrics.

Good for: sensitive skin, HE machines

Ingredients

  1. Goat's milk soap shreds This is our bar soap shredded into fine pieces. Natural fats in the soap can effectively break down grease and lift stains while still being gentle on fabrics too!
  2. Washing soda Washing soda (or sodium carbonate) is used in laundry soap primarily to soften hard water allowing soap to clean effectively rather than creating residue. It has a higher pH so it can act as a strong cleaning agent that helps remove grime and odors.
  3. Borax Borax is a mineral that has been used for centuries as a household cleaning product albeit the ongoing question - is it safe? Here is an easy read by Wellness Mama regarding Is Borax Safe to Use for Natural Cleaning? Ultimately, if you aren’t comfortable using borax, don't, and ask us about borax-free options.
  4. Baking soda Baking soda (or sodium bicarbonate) can essentially make soap work more effectively and act as a softener.

In general, homemade soap is gentle and safe for all skin types. It can be great for people with allergies and/or other skin conditions unlike commercial soaps that tend to contain other chemical-based detergents, fragrances, etc. Our soap products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. Please verify ingredients for allergens before use. If irritation or allergy occurs, discontinue use immediately. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
