Plain n' Simple Goat's Milk Soap
Goat's milk has some wonderful qualities suited for soap. Leaves skin soft, and feeling pampered. There are bunches of soapers out there that make goat's milk soap. Many have their own farms and use their own product to make soaps and lotions from their farm-produced goat's milk.
There others who have goats and a surplus of goat's milk on occasion and look for folks like me who want to purchase their goat's milk, since I don't own a farm that produces goats milk.
Now, that I have some goat's milk, I must make soap and support our local farmers, right? My contribution to the support of local goat farmers is to make a simplistic goat's milk soap, like this one you see pictured above.
Lots of folks have problems with artificial fragrances and colors; some even have issues with certain essential oils that create a fragrance. This is the reason for Plain n' Simple Goat's Milk soap.
This soap is gentle on the skin, without artificial scents, no artificial colors. Perfect for sensitive skin, and perfect for children and infants.
Stay tuned, one goat's milk soap coming up in guest size that contains just a little lemongrass oil in it.

Looking Forward to Summer Already?

Didn't it just become Spring? Oh well...the life a soap maker! Must look forward a season or two ahead.
Almost everyone looks forward to summer anyway, right? There's a lot to look forward to; such as warm days, soaking in the sun, swimming, gardening, hiking, boating, camping and just generally getting out of doors. I love summer. Everyone and everything gets out and gets productive in one sense or another. EVERYONE...including BUGS.
They are a part of the summer season, whether we like it or not. We have to put up with them.
Or, do we?
I'm bringing back, by popular demand a soap that I made last year with just a little change in its looks just for those who aren't fond of little creatures landing on your body and biting you.
Bug Be Gone Soap; a soap that contains essential oils found in many plants known to repel buggy little critters. I'm not the only soap maker that has this, but I think mine is the prettiest and most fashionable looking. 
Only natural plant oils are used in this soap that are known to repel bugs, including catnip oil. Catnip oil is known to be one of the most effective natural ways to repel bugs. These oils combined also have a fresh, minty fragrance...an added bonus and change to the commercial bug repellent crowd.
Most of the commercial bug repellents out there are chemically enhanced to keep bugs away. Most of them work quite well, but there are some drawbacks...the spray-ons getting into your eyes and down your lungs, the less than attractive smells, and all the strange-sounding, unpronounceable chemical words that you're are slathering on your body. All the while you are trusting they won't make you grow a third eye!
Bug Be Gone soap certainly smells much nicer than any of those chemically enhanced bug repellent products out there and you are getting a natural product that doesn't make you grow a third eye either.
What a concept!
