One of the questions I am often asked – “Is your goat milk soap hypoallergenic?” I admit, I’m always a little bit stumped as to how to answer that question. Why am I stumped? Because the term “hypoallergenic” is pretty meaningless. It is a “made-up” word used by marketers to make their product sound safer […]
I first started making goat milk soap because I didn’t want to use chemicals on my children’s skin. Why was that important to me? Avoiding chemicals on their skin was important, because I knew that the skin is the human body’s largest organ and healthy skin is essential to keeping my children healthy. So I learned […]
Anti-perspirant is designed to stop you from perspiring. It typically uses aluminum as a way to clog the sweat-ducts and prevent sweat from escaping. According to How It Works Today, Ions of this [aluminum] compound – examples of which include aluminium chlorohydrate and aluminium chloride – are withdrawn into the cells that line the human […]
What is a wet shave? What is a dry shave? Isn’t it all just cutting whiskers? Well, yes. A dry shave typically uses an electric razor (hence the lack of water), and a wet shave uses any number of razor blades with a lubricating agent and water. Either way, you get your whiskers cut, and […]
I have long believed that anti-bacterial soaps are not healthy and that people should avoid using them. I was greatly encouraged to hear that the FDA is finally addressing the issue of anti-bacterial soap dangers. According to the AP, Under a proposed rule released Monday, the agency will require manufacturers to prove that anti-bacterial soaps […]
When I first started making soap for my family, my goal was very simple. I wanted to create a natural bar of soap. I did not want to use any chemical ingredients that I believe are unsafe for my children’s skin and hazardous to their health. I honestly had no idea that the soap was […]
People ask me quite often which soap and lotion they should use on their face. The answer (of course) is… It depends. I don’t have very sensitive skin, so I am able to use all of the soaps on my face. Before making our goat milk soap, after I washed my face, my skin would feel […]
All the Jonas children are very hard workers and have a lot of responsibilities. Indigo (7) and Jade (6) have been doing their own laundry (with our laundry soap) for several years. In this adorable video, they tell you all about it! I’ve said it before, but I just have to say it again. They’re […]
We’re big believers in using soap to wash your hands – and not just because we make soap! With a farm family of ten, there are lots of opportunities to pass germs back and forth. Regularly washing hands with soap is the easiest way to keep us all healthy and prevent the passing of germs. And […]
I think this is my new favorite video. It is so funny to watch the children’s indvidual reactions. And the ending is priceless! What was your favorite part?
People have heard me say that I don’t feed my family soy products and I don’t feed my goats soybeans. So I am occasionally asked, “Why then do you use soybean oil in your soaps that your children use on their skin?” There are several reasons: 1. We use organic soybean oil. We do not […]
Many men have only used shaving cream to shave. In this video, Emery learns how to use our shaving soap to shave Jim. Please be aware that even though we didn’t show the entire thing, Emery actually did shave Jim for the first time ever. (And yes, he was very nervous! LOL)
