Why Goat Milk Soap?

Goat Milk Soap

What is the main purpose of soap?

To clean your skin. 

Simple enough, right?

Well, yes and no.  

Over the long term, the soap you use everyday will have either a negative or positive effect on your holistic health.  For example, washing your hands with typical anti-bacterial soap will expose you to harsh chemicals, which cause irritation, dryness and even eczema (inflammation) after long term exposure.  

For years I have used soap without really thinking about what kind of long term effect it was having on my skin. My goal was to feel and smell clean. These are good goals, but these side effects can be faked with the help of chemicals and artificial scents.  So my skin might feel clean, but it is actually stripped of all natural oils that it needs to maintain a healthy moisture barrier.  And I might smell better, but in reality my natural smell is just being masked by artificial scents.

Why Goat Milk?

Goat milk has been known for millennia to have medicinal properties, not only for internal consumption but also for topical use.  It is what we would nowadays call "anti-inflammatory." 

Skin symptoms manifesting as eczema, psoriasis, redness and itchiness are examples of inflammation. Inflammation tends to begin inwardly before it eventually manifests outwardly, but what we expose ourselves through our environment (including what we put on our skin) every day is still a huge factor for our holistic well-being.

So how can we get clean the right way?

Ideally, soap will not only clean, but also nourish and heal.

That's where goat milk soap comes in. Our amazing goat milk is the main secret ingredient that makes our soap so uniquely restorative. We produce our goat milk here on the homestead, and we make sure to feed our goats the best, organic feed available. 

We also use a careful balance of the highest quality natural oils -- olive oil, shea butter, castor oil and a select blend of essential oils for a natural, non-irritating scent. 

"I just want to get clean, stay healthy, and get on with my day."

If this is you, then our goat milk soap would be the perfect addition to your daily routine. 

For me, one bar does it all -- I use it as a body and facial bar as well as for shampoo/conditioner, so it knocks out four cleansing products at once. This not simplifies my daily routine, but also my skin and scalp health has improved noticeably over the last year. I have gotten past years of struggling eczema and scalp sensitivity.  Also, since my overall skin health has improved, I have less acne than before (even as a full grown man my skin breaks out sometimes).

Are You Also a Chronic Hand-Washer?

Our soap is also perfect for chronic hand-washers like myself because it doesn't strip the skin of natural oils.  This means I can wash my hands all day with this soap and my hands don't dry up.

So -- it's worth saying again -- this goat soap has been a game changer for me.

I can't guarantee the same results for everyone, of course, but these are the results I have experienced.

So are you ready to step up your soap game? Get yours from our online store today.

Until next time!

Blessings to you and your family from ours.

Paul Gautschi's Back to Eden Growing Method

Raking wood chips, prepping to plant a small tree. From the first time I heard about Paul Gautschi's Back to Eden gardening method, I have been hooked.  It has answered almost every major question I had about setting up a regenerative homestead here in the central Texas area, where the weather is so extreme -- either flood or drought, burning hot or freezing cold, etc. The general philosophy of Back to Eden is: Grow Things as the Creator Intended .  According to Gautschi, God revealed to him that he was gardening the hard way, which also happens to be how farmers have worked since recorded history. Genesis, the first book of the Bible, states that after the Fall, God cursed mankind and the soil so that "man would only be able to live by the sweat of his brow."  And, after mankind was expelled from the Garden of Eden, men took to growing food by "tilling the ground."   This makes a lot of sense if you look at modern farming practices, where the ground is tilled ...

Beat the Cold and Flu this Year with Elderberry Syrup

Up until a few years ago, I believed that anything other than over-the-counter pharmaceuticals was "quack medicine." At the same time, I didn't think to question why I constantly struggled with persistent coughs, upper respiratory infections, and all the other symptoms that come along with seasonal cold and flu. My only gameplan was to buy Dayquil/Nyquil and Delsym (cough syrup) in bulk, and keep consuming it forever.  Thankfully, Lizzy (my wife) has steered me patiently toward a more holistic way of thinking, so I've been able to escape this cycle.  Elderberry syrup in particular has been a game changer for me.  Instead of just suppressing the cough or masking other cold/flu symptoms, it strengthens the immune system so I can actually recover from the cold and flu, and the associated symptoms (upper respiratory infections, sniffles, sore throat, etc.) And does so surprisingly fast, as long as I get out ahead of it.    Elderberry syrup has been used for centuri...

But You Can Control ... Your Diet

One of the biggest take-aways from Jordan Rubin's book, The Maker's Diet , is that we can control the number one most important factor for our health: our diet . When we are younger we seem to get away with making unhealthy decisions.  As long as we are moderately active, we can consume almost anything without becoming overweight or sick.  Alcohol and smoking don't have such a dramatic effect when we are younger. We can get by with quite a bit of sleep deprivation as well. Why? Because younger bodies are able to adapt to hostile treatment while still staying mostly functional.   But our bodies remember different kinds of stressors ... and dietary stress is a big one.  You have probably heard of the word "inflammation" in reference to health and wellness.  Honestly, to this day, the word still seems vague to me.  I still have to pause for a minute and try to remember what it means or why it matters.   But you can think of inflammation as a kin...
