About Our Products

"Handmade soap is one of life's little luxuries" -- Anonymous

Egg Yolk Soap is our most unusual, hard-to-find soap. It is derived from a 19th century farmhouse recipe. A dozen yolks go into each batch of 28 bars, creating a rich profusion of silky, nourishing lather that rinses off cleanly. We add pure, unrefined shea butter as a moisturizer and beeswax for a longer-lasting bar.

Goat Milk Soap is made the old-fashioned way in small batches using 100% milk from our own goats. Using milk instead of water means that the soap contains more complex carbohydrates, fats and proteins, producing creamy, smooth lather. We add pure, unrefined shea butter as a moisturizer and beeswax for a longer-lasting bar.

Specialty Soap is formulated for a specific purpose. It can be especially long-lasting or richly lathering or good for scrubbing dirty hands. It can remove stains from your laundry or help wash away poison ivy juice. After all: soap can be more than just a bath or a shower thing.

Unscented Products are created especially for our friends who are sensitive to fragranced body products. We believe that fragrance is not an important ingredient in a product that is already top quality. You will find unscented soap and lotion in our catalog.

Lotions & Lip Balms

Once we started making soaps, we learned that lotions and lip balms can be made from materials we already had in stock. We also learned that making these products is very straightforward if quality ingredients are used. We never use mineral oil, drying alcohols or chemicals often found in commercial products. You will notice the difference immediately.
