Why Handcrafted Soap?

Generally, the commercial soaps carried at most chain stores, etc. are full of chemical additives, additives that not only dry out your skin but can lead to rashes and other irritations.This is not only because of the synthetic additives in the soap but also because most soap companies take the glycerin out of their soap. The commercial soap bars that line most grocery stores’ shelves are actually synthetic detergents. While that's great for your dishes, it's not very good for your skin.

Cleopatra reportedly bathed in goat milk. You can, too!

It happens every time. You get about halfway though a bar of soap and it cracks right down the middle. That's because most commercial soaps are made with high percentages of water, as well as chemical fragrances and preservatives. What's to do? Try goat milk soap.

With a pH level close to that of human skin, and Caprylic Acid to maintain a low alkalinity, goat milk is perfect for those suffering from psoriasis, eczema or plain-old sensitive, dry skin. The short-strand protein structure allows it be easily absorbed into the skin and makes it highly moisturizing. And it's got more vital vitamins like A, B, C and D, protein, calcium, potassium, magnesium and triglycerides (fats) than either cow's milk or water.

No wonder Cleopatra reportedly bathed in it. You would too if you had a pyramid full of handmaidens and a dairy.

soaps said...: I have been extremely impressed with the soap. It creates a soft, moisturized feeling after using that I have never achieved with any other soap before. It doesn't leave a residue after use, like I have experienced before with other soaps. The scent is light and refreshing, not at all overpowering. I would recommend this to anyone as their soap of choice from now on.
