Lavender Goat Milk Lard Soap - Lavender Plant and Tree of Life Soap with Essential Oils
A simple, timeless scent, just pure Lavender essential oil. This super-simple 2-oil bar soap is made with our own hand-milked goat milk in it as well as local, pastured lard that I render here by hand and a touch of coconut oil. Full ingredients are simply lard, coconut oil, goat milk, lye, and Lavender essential oil.
This bar is available in:
4 oz rectangular bar of a lavender plant
4 oz round bar of a tree of life
4 oz plain square bar
2 oz travel-size molded dragonfly bar that is great for gift-giving as well.
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, as listed above.
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 the dragonfly. 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 lavender color, although I have several colors so just message me if you'd like a different shade. This bar is packaged in a hand-folded brown paper origami box with a matching lid.
This recipe is 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). I love this soap, in fact I used to make this as a regular, non-goat milk soap, but then made a batch with goat milk for a custom order and loved it so much I decided to convert my lard soaps to goat milk-lard soaps. It is nicely moisturizing, cleans really well with no residue, and has a great lather!
I handmake all my soap in small batches. 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.
