About Our Goat's Milk Soap

Body Soap with Essential Oils ~ 4oz. bar $6.00
Ingredients: Saponified olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, goat's milk, essential oils,
glycerine, and pleasant touch.
Choose: Lavender~Peppermint~Coconut&Lime~LemonGrass~Lavender&Vanilla

It started when my mother taught us at home growing up how to make our own soap. She had never been afraid to take on a new learning challenge so when my father's sensitive skin became a problem, seriously affected by commercial fragrances, my mom jumped in and started making her own soaps. It became quite popular and we started selling her bars at craft shows and art stores.
Rustic Oatmeal&Cinnamon ~ Oatmeal&Honey Facial Scrubs 4 oz. Bar $6.00
 Ingredients: Saponified olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, goat's milk, oatmeal, honey,
beeswax, (cinnamon is added in the Rustic Oatmeal&Cinnamon scrub only)
glycerine, almond oil and a sweet smile.
   We made soap at that time from animal fat, it was free at the local butcher. I well remember rendering out lard, tallow, and even bear fat! Since then the free left with the butcher and the only lard available was from the grocery store.
    When I left home I kept making soap.  I mostly made it for our own home use, and giving it away as gifts. It was only natural, then, after we got our goats to add their rich milk to our recipe. I am glad to pass the tradition along to my own children and make our soap available for others enjoyment and better health, free from harsh unnecessary chemicals.

Goat Milk Soap really is all that it's cracked up to be. Along with a few other choice ingredients, it makes for a good, long lasting, nourishing bar. Our soap is made from olive, coconut, and palm oils. Essential oils are added for scent as well as oatmeal, honey, cinnamon, almond oil, glycerine, and beeswax.
Farmer's Daughter Laundry Bar ~  Old Fashioned Soap ~ 3.5 oz bar $5.00
Ingredients: Saponified lard, coconut or/palm oil, water, borax, essential oil
of lemon, and a chuckle.
Farmer's Daughter is a laundry bar, a plain old fashion soap with a hint of fresh lemons. This is a good soap to use for homemade laundry soap . This one bar isn't made with goat's milk but is still a good bar for hand washing.

Shaving Soap For Men ~ 2-1oz disks $4.00
Ingredients: Saponified olive oil, coconut oil, palm, and castor oil, goat's milk,
honey, bentonite clay, essential oils
of lavender and vanilla,  and a hardy handshake.

Shaving soap, a rich lathery round, enriched with bentonite clay for facial cleansing. These are small 1 oz. disks that fit right into most shaving mugs. The blend of lavender and vanilla does not have a flowery smell but smacks of caramel.

Make your Own Soap or try some from our Etsy Store.

While every feeble effort of mine is being made to keep consistent, our soap is still hand made and will vary slightly in form, color, and scent from batch to batch. I will make a point of erring on the side of  generous. Thank you for understanding!
