We don’t make goat milk soap because it’s trendy or because it sounds charming.
We make it because it’s what we use.
Every bar starts the same way—by hand, on the milk stand, with our goats. The milk that goes into our soap is raw and and hard-earned. It represents daily routines and the quiet discipline of caring for animals well. There’s no shortcut around that part for us.
Apart from the goat milk, our recipe is made with beef tallow, beeswax, olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, palm oil and of course- sodium hydroxide for the saponification process. These aren’t filler ingredients. They’re chosen because they create a bar that is nourishing, stable, and genuinely good for the skin. The result is a soap that lathers beautifully, feels creamy and bubbly, and rinses clean without leaving skin tight or dry.
These are real ingredients… real fats and butters from animals and plants.
For color and additional beneficial additives, we keep things simple and natural—natural clays, turmeric, activated charcoal. No artificial dyes. No unnecessary extras. The colors of our soap are inspired by what surrounds us here—soft earth tones pulled from the land, the warm hues of fresh eggs gathered from the nest, the quiet beauty of everyday farm life.
Creating soap has become a deeply meaningful creative outlet for me. It engages all the senses God has given us—sight, touch, scent—and turns the ordinary work of tending animals and land into something both useful and beautiful.
For scent, we use a blend of essential oils and phthalate-free fragrance oils. These options allow us to create soaps that smell warm, clean, and inviting—without compromising our standards. It’s important to me that our soap feels like a small everyday luxury, not something harsh or overpowering.
We’ve used this soap exclusively in our own home for over two years. On our children. On our hardworking hands. On our faces. On skin that sees sun, wind, dirt, and daily life.
I’ll be honest—this soap is costly to make. The ingredients are top-tier. The process is time-consuming. And raising dairy goats is a commitment that doesn’t clock out.
But this is work we’re proud of.
Each bar represents stewardship—of animals, of land, of health, and of the slow, honest work that happens behind the scenes. It’s not mass-produced. It’s not rushed. And it’s never made without care.
And this recipe wasn’t taken from a magazine, copied from the internet, or purchased from someone else. It was built from the ground up by me, using a tool called SoapCalc. I chose each ingredient intentionally, deciding what qualities I wanted the soap to have—hardness, creaminess, conditioning, lather—and then used science and careful calculation to achieve those results. The percentages matter. This part is most certainly a science.
The result is a soap that is truly delightful to use—thoughtful, well-crafted, and born from both intention and care.
This soap is a byproduct of the life we’re building here. And we’re grateful to share it.
*** The farm shop is currently low in inventory as we prep for markets and recoup from holiday sales and winter kiddings. Lots of soaping in progress and the shop will be fully stocked by March. ***
