1. Why
add goat milk to soap? Goat milk protein contains essential amino acids as well as vitamins A and B and
minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus. Goat milk is also very near the natural ph level of our own
skin. With its natural emollients, goat milk soap can relieve dryness and leave your skin feeling silky soft.
2. Will
the soap smell like a goat? Not mine. Not ever. Not a chance. No way.
3. Is
there lye in this soap? Yes, there is lye in absolutely all soap. Once it
blends and reacts (saponification) with the oil molecules it is no longer lye, it becomes soap and is completely skin
safe after a curing period of 4-6 weeks.
4. Why not
just buy regular old soap from the store? There are chemicals added to commercial
soaps to make them harder, cheaper to make ect. Companies are not required to list the ingredients on the label. These
may irritate your skin and cause dryness as well as unknown reactions.
5. What is the shelf life of this soap? A lot of people ask
this because of the milk. Once the oils, milk and lye mix together they become a completely different product so
the milk is no longer milk, oils are no longer oils and the lye is no longer lye. These soaps will still be good practically
indefinitely. In fact, the longer they sit the more mild they become, so a couple of months on the shelf is a good thing.
They will still be great years from now.
