About Us:
What you WILL find in our soaps and lotions:
-- High quality oils high in Vitamins A, D, & E. We also look for oils that have antioxidant properties and/or GLAs. Oils used in our formulas need to have health benefits for your skin!
-- Almost one full ounce of goat milk in each bar of soap! Our milk is processed by hand, fresh off our farm in the Willamette Valley and included raw to retain as many beneficial vitamins and minerals as possible. Milk is classified as a lipoprotein. This translates into more moisture for your skin as well as the increased ability for your skin to absorb all those beautiful nutrients included in the goat milk. Goat milk also acts as a natural exfoliate because of its Alpha-Hydroxy components.
-- Naturally occurring glycerin. Because all our soap is made using the superior cold process method, we retain the natural glycerin to draw moisture to your skin. Many people have sensitivities to the glycerin, that is often added to soaps and lotions, but don't realize it. Natural glycerin is best and does not have that residual sticky feeling or irritants you may find in some products using a glycerin additive.
What you WON'T find in our soaps and lotions:
-- No pre-made melt and pour bases. Our formulas are all original creations.
-- No rapeseed or cottonseed oils, some of the most highly chemical and pesticide treated oils. This is one reason you will not find vegetable shortening in our soaps as often shortenings are comprised of hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils. Your skin is like a sponge and absorbs what you put on it. Think about that! :)
-- No dehydrated milk powder. We prefer to maintain control of our most important ingredient for our soap, our milk! We only use fresh from our farm milk. What goes into our goats comes out in their milk and into your soaps and lotions!
-- No artificial glycerin. We don't add glycerin to our soaps or lotions! Some companies remove the naturally occuring glycerin and sell it and then replace it with a cheaper processed glycerin. We don't do that. Since we use beneficial oils in our lotions, we feel the added glycerin is an unnecessary additive.
-- No added preservatives except for in our lotions which is necessary because of the milk. The preservative we choose to use is paraben and formaldyhyde free and comprises less than 1% of the total formula or less than .0005 in each batch!
-- No titanium oxide.
-- No vegetable shortenings, propylene glycol (which some studies claim may be cancer causing), petroleums, parabens, or formaldehyde.
What could all this mean for you??
Our customers regularly report that our soap is long lasting, has wonderful lather, and is extremely mild and caring for their skin! Those with psoriasis and eczema have told us they have experienced less flaking and red irritation on their skin. Sensitive skin users have told us the bumps they used to have all over their bodies as a result of using other soaps have disappeared almost completely when using our soap.
Everybody has different body chemistry, but give us a try! Don't you think you should treat your most important and prominant body feature with the care it needs and deserves? Don't just put something on the top of your skin; feed it a healthy diet just like the rest of your body!
