Eucalyptus Mint Goat Milk Lard Soap, Dragonfly Soap with Essential Oils
The herbal scent of Eucalyptus essential oil paired with the spicy fragrance of Peppermint essential oil is a classic, and one of my most popular soap scents. Made with my own hand-milked goat milk, local lard from a friend's sustainable small farm that I render myself, and a little coconut oil and of course lye - that's it! (Check out my FAQ section at the bottom of the page for why there is lye in soap). This goat milk soap is really moisturizing, cleans well with no residue, and has a great lather!
This bar is available in:
3+ oz round dragonfly bar
4 oz rectangular dragonfly bar
4-5 oz oval dragonfly bar
4 oz plain square bar
2 oz travel/guest/gift-size molded dragonfly bar
All of these are optionally painted with mica, see below!
The molded bars comes in a brown windowed paperboard box, and the plain square is wrapped in brown paper band, both with labels including the complete ingredients: Local hand-rendered pastured lard, coconut oil, lye, water, and peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils.
I also make this in a 2 oz square bar with a dragonfly on it, a great size for trying out the fragrance, travel, or gifting, and I offer optional hand-painted color on this as well as all the larger bars. This is a colored mica powder that I paint on the surface so it will wash off immediately, but it adds a gorgeous pop of color that is a little extra something for that special gift. I will default to a green shade, although I have several colors so just message me if you'd like a different color dragonfly. This 2 oz bar is packaged in a hand-folded brown paper origami box with a matching lid.
I handmake all my soap in small batches from scratch. If you have used a good handmade soap before, you know that it is a completely different creature than commercial soap, which can be so drying! A typical bar of handmade soap is roughly 1/3 glycerin! This is a humectant, meaning it pulls water from the air - when on your skin, it literally moisturizes your skin by attracting water to it. In commercial soaps, the glycerin is distilled and removed, and later sold back to you in a lotion, but in the "real thing", it is all one package. I used to use lotions and moisturizers a lot, especially in the winter, but I virtually never use them anymore, other than some of my tallow body balm on my hands occasionally, and my lip balm or lip blush all year-round!
