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 ...

The Cost, Time and Health Benefits of Using Our Awesome Goat Soap

Cost Savings (Averaged Over Time) Earlier today I was thinking about the cost of our goat milk soap (which is $8-12 per bar, depending on the size/type) and I was tempted to think: "Hmmm ... That's kind of expensive."  But then I caught myself and realized that, compared to a few short years ago, I'm actually spending a lot less on personal cleansers (taking into account the full retail price for our goat soap).   A few years back this is how much I spent on skin health products (don't judge, y'all): Facial cleanser : $35.  Lasts 3 months.   Toner : $30. Lasts 3 months. Anti-aging eye gel : $30 😰. Lasted 3 months.   Liquid exfoliant : $35. Lasted 3 months. Natural, chemical free body soap : $10 per bar.  At least two bars per month.   Non-sulfate shampoo : $20 per bottle. At least two bottles per month. Natural conditioner : $30 per bottle.  At least two bottles per month at least.   That's $91.67 per month, average...
