NOTE: for those who prefer not to use animal products, please note that this soap does contain 1 animal product: goat milk.
Our Goat’s Milk Soap takes inspiration from the Queens of ancient Egypt, who famously bathed in goat’s milk to nourish and soften their melaninated skin. We’ve infused real lavender oil, African shea butter, and the lovely aroma of cherry blossoms and coconut to make using this soap a royal experience.
Goat’s Milk is naturally rich in fatty acids. *Fatty acids are an important part of skin cells, and they have great influence on skin health. Goat milk is also rich in vitamin A, which has been shown to *reduce wrinkles and increase collagen production.
Shea Butter has been used in Africa for thousands of years. Shea butter is very rich in fat and has been shown to have *antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Lavender Oil has been used for generations for therapeutic as well as cosmetic purposes. *Traditionally lavender oil was considered to be antibacterial, antifungal, and a relaxing agent. It was even used for burns and insect bites. Recent studies have gathered evidence that supports these claims.
Our Goat’s Milk Soap adds a touch of luxury to your bathing routine. Inhale the beautiful scent of cherry blossom, lavender and coconut. Take a deep breath, and relax.
Enjoy!
