Let’s start with the advantages of handcrafted soap first.  Most big-brand soaps contain harsh chemicals that can irritate the skin, alcohol that dries the skin, and sometimes petroleum products, which is just disturbing. 

Handmade soap has a basic advantage: glycerin. 

All soap is made by combining a fat with an alkali.  During the saponification process, the fat turns into soap and glycerin.  In commercial soaps, the glycerin is removed by adding salt to make the soap and glycerin separate.  The glycerin is then used in other, more profitable products, including cosmetics, medicine, printing inks and the production of the explosive nitroglycerin.  But in handmade soap, the glycerin remains in the soap, providing deep moisturizing benefits.

YOU WILL FEEL THE DIFFERENCE!

While the federal government forbids anyone to make any health claims on their soap, we can tell you, generally speaking, goat's milk soap is highly sought after for it's legendary skin healing and moisturizing properties. 

 A benefit of using handmade goat milk soap is that you can use it on your face as well as your whole body.  It is not harsh to the skin, in fact, it can even possibly replace your moisturizer.  Goat milk soap also diminishes bacteria from the skin while keeping your skin moisturized at the same time.

Goat’s milk is a natural emollient that helps soothe and moisturize the skin.  It contains protein, fat, iron, vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D and E.   Goat’s milk has 3 times more beta-casein than cow’s milk and is regarded as a "complete protein" because it contains all essential amino acids.
