Birchwood Goat Milk Soap

Before we get into the benefits, let's start with the basics. Goat milk soap is made from, you guessed it, fresh goat's milk combined with natural oils and lye. This combination results in a soap that's rich in vitamins and minerals, offering a natural way to cleanse and nourish your skin.

Most commercial soaps contain harsh surfactants that leaves your skin feeling dry and tight. Cold process soap making allows us to have complete control over the ingredients. There are no added detergents and we can add natural skin loving oils.

We focus on goat milk soap, because we have a beautiful abundance of creamy high butterfat raw goat milk. Our farm raises Nigerian Dwarf goats that are known for their high butterfat milk.

The high amount of fats and lactic acids, gently clean the skin and remove dead skin cells without removing the skin’s natural fatty acids. The high cholesterol and fatty acid levels may help improve dry skin by restore and re-hydrate the skin’s lipid barrier. This makes the bars of soap ideal for all skin types, including individuals with eczema, psoriasis, damaged skin, sensitive skin, or dry skin.

Our cold processed bar soap is extra nutrient dense because we add sunflower oil from Century Sun Oil, in Pulaski Wisconsin. Sunflower oil is an excellent source of beta-carotene and is high in oleic acid. This helps the oil penetrate into the skin.

Your skin will thank you for adding our vitamin and mineral dense bar soap to your skincare routine. 

When it comes to skincare, not all soaps are created equal. While commercial soaps can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and irritated, goat milk soap offers a more balanced approach. It provides the cleansing power you need without compromising your skin's natural barrier. In a world where skincare options are abundant, goat milk soap stands out as a genuine, natural solution.

By choosing goat milk soap, you're not only caring for your skin but also contributing to a healthier planet.

Goat milk contains essential nutrients like vitamins A, D, and B6, along with lactic acid and alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs). These components work together to nourish and exfoliate the skin gently, making goat milk soap a fantastic option for both sensitive and mature skin. The natural fats in goat milk help maintain moisture, leaving your skin feeling soft and hydrated.

Compared to commercial skincare products laden with harsh chemicals, goat milk soap provides a more natural and soothing cleansing experience.

Yes! Our bar soap is gentle and can be used on all your bits. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend unscented or lavender for face use.
