    Is Goat Milk Soap Hypoallergenic?

    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?

  • All Goat Milk Soap is Not Created Equal

    All Goat Milk Soap is Not Created Equal

    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…

  • What Do I Use on My Face?

    What Do I Use on My Face?

    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…

    Why We Use Soybean Oil in Some of Our Soaps

    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…
