"Hi, my name is Freya.
My mum is one of the goats that provides the fresh milk for your soap."
Just when you thought it wasn't possible!
We've managed to combine the goodness of pure vegetable oil soap with fresh goats milk and real English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia).
In our latest bar we haven't used artificial fragrance but true, pure, oil of lavender to offer you all the benefits that flow from that. Lavender is used in aromatherapy for it's ability to soothe the furrowed brow and bring calm and relaxation. It's also often used as an analgesic to reduce pain and swelling.
In our soap we take advantage of lavender's properties as a mild antiseptic to clean your hands thoroughly but gently. Once combined with our fresh goats milk to help prevent dry skin, we think we've found a perfect combination.
To add that special touch we've also sprinkled in our own home grown lavender flowers that will release extra fragrance as you use your soap.
We try to be careful with the choice of ingredients we use in our Goat Soap recipes. Any Palm Oil we use is organic and is not from large commercial plantations in South-East Asia that have been linked to de-forestation.
We use goats milk in the soap because it introduces several fatty-acids that are unique to goats milk. Although we make no medicinal claims for our soap it's widely regarded as an ingredient beneficial to people suffering from certain allergies or skin conditions.
The recipe is vegetarian. Our Goats Milk soap contains no animal tallow. Please note that this soap does contain colourings.
Note: Our goat soaps are handmade from scratch from natural ingredients. We do NOT use bought-in 'melt and pour' mixes. We do NOT use bought-in powdered goats milk.

Put your soap into this neat little net and use the exfoliating scrub on your skin as the lather froths out through the weave.
The nets can also be used to make use of those small pieces of soap that you might otherwise throw away. Just pop them all in the net together and you can use them down to the last bit.
As our soaps are made the traditional way, without additives, they're softer than commercial soaps you might find in the supermarket. We recommend you use a soap dish to hold your soap; it lets the soap dry out after use and keeps it firmer, longer.
Our Soap Ladders are made from sustainable hardwood.
A slatted wooden soap dish made from sustainable Birch wood. This is a lovely soap dish with a curved bottom that holds your soap well and lets the water run off after use. It keeps your bar nicely dry so it lasts longer.
Like our 'Milky Marvel' soap, this is plain, simple and uncomplicated. A white cotton face flannel that complements our goats milk soap.
The flannel is made from 400gsm Indian cotton and is 30cm×30cm. For those who prefer imperial measurements that's 12"×12".
Our face flannel has been doing so well that we couldn't resist adding a white cotton guest towel to our range.
As with the original flannel, the towel is made from 400gsm Indian cotton; it's size is 50cm×100cm, that's about 20"×40" in old money.
