What should I know about Ollie Skincare?

Ollie Skincare is a small, woman-owned skincare maker in Wisconsin. Founder Kerrieanne Lischka began making goat milk soap on our Wisconsin homestead in 2014, and we've been selling Ollie Skincare since 2018. We handmake goat milk soap, whipped tallow, balms and oils in small batches, with goat milk from a farm in Clintonville, Wisconsin. We're Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free (not vegan: some products contain goat milk, beeswax, honey or tallow) and a member of 1% for the Planet. Read our story.

Where is Ollie Skincare made?

Every product is handmade in small batches in Wisconsin by Kerrieanne, a woman-owned business, with simple ingredients like goat milk, honey and calendula.

Is Ollie Skincare cruelty-free? Is it vegan?

Cruelty-free, yes: Ollie Skincare is Leaping Bunny certified, so no animal testing by us or our ingredient suppliers. Vegan, no: many of our products use goat milk, beeswax, honey or tallow. Every product page lists the full ingredients.

Is Ollie Skincare a 1% for the Planet member?

Yes. We give 1% of our annual sales to Milwaukee Riverkeeper and Savory Institute through 1% for the Planet. See our sustainability page for why we chose them.

Is Ollie good for sensitive skin?

Our products are made with short, readable ingredient lists for sensitive skin. If you react easily, patch-test first, and check each product page for its full ingredient list and FAQ.

What are the benefits of goat milk soap?

We make cold-process soap, which lets us control every ingredient: no added detergents, just oils, butters and goat milk. Goat milk's natural fats and lactic acid give a creamy lather that cleans without stripping skin's natural oils. We add sunflower oil from Century Sun Oil in Pulaski, Wisconsin, for extra nourishment.

Is sunflower oil good for skin?

Yes. Sunflower oil is light, absorbs easily and contains oleic acid and vitamin E. It suits most skin types. Ours comes from Century Sun Oil in Pulaski, Wisconsin.

Why do you infuse herbs in your oils?

We grow herbs like lavender and calendula and slowly infuse them in oil to capture their properties. It takes time, but it's a simple, natural way to bring botanicals into balms and salves like our Calendula Herbal Salve.

What are the benefits of beeswax in skincare?

Beeswax helps skin hold on to moisture and forms a light protective layer, so lotion bars and balms help shield skin from wind and cold.

Using your products

How do I use bar soap in the shower?

A natural soap saver bag makes it easy. Without one, wet your skin, rub the bar between your hands for about 20 seconds to build a lather, spread it over your body and rinse with warm water.

Where should I store bar soap?

On a tray or dish with drainage and good air flow, like our Soap Tray. Letting the bar dry out between uses makes it last much longer.

What are lotion bars and how do you use them?

A lotion bar is a solid moisturizer made from beeswax, oils and butters. It stays solid at room temperature but softens with body heat, so you just rub it on dry skin. Store it in its reusable tin.

Orders, shipping & returns

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes. Orders of $50 or more ship free. See our shipping policy for delivery times.

How do I check on my order?

You'll get a shipping confirmation email with tracking once your order ships. If something looks wrong, send us your order number using the form below.

Why does Whipped Tallow take a little longer to ship?

Each jar of Whipped Tallow is whipped fresh after you order, so it may take a few extra days to ship.

When should I order for the holidays?

Order by December 15 for holiday delivery. Need it sooner? Look for us at a holiday market, or send a gift card, which arrives by email.
