Unscented Goat Milk Lard Soap - Fragrance-Free with Raw Honey + Oats
This simple yet chockful-of-goodness soap 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 - check out my FAQ section at the bottom of the page for why there is lye in soap. I also add in some ground oats for some great skin-soothing, and some of our own raw honey, for extra moisturizing.
This soap is available in multiple molded bars - a round bar of flowers with a honeybee, an adorable pig in a meadow, a rectangle with an Oat Stalk and the word "OATMEAL", 3 different styles of an oval bar of honeycomb with 1-3 bees, or a bee on a sunflower. If you have a preference of these oval bars, add a note, otherwise I will send what's available! They vary in weight depending on the mold and just exactly how they poured batch by batch (between 3 and 5 oz). The molded bars all come packaged in a kraft brown paperboard box, and the plain square 4-5 oz bar comes wrapped in a hand-cut brown paper wrapper.
I also make this in a 2 oz square bar with a honeybee on it, a great size for trying out the fragrance, travel, or gifting. This bar is packaged in a hand-folded brown paper origami box with a matching lid.
I hand-make 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! When soap is made by hand, the chemical reaction of oils with a lye solution forms the substances soap and glycerin. 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!
