A house blend of spicy rosemary and juicy orange, lime and grapefruit essential oils. This 3.5+ oz bar has a beautiful Tree of Life molded on the front, and comes packaged in a windowed brown paperboard box with complete labels. Why use a shampoo bar? Partly to avoid all those disturbing ingredients in commercial shampoo! Then wouldn’t any nice, handmade bar soap work? Well, I’ve tried it, with my own goat milk soap, and it was not what I wanted! Hair, and even more importantly our scalp, needs ultra-moisturizing treatment, and this bar is specially made to do that. Hair gets oily because we wash off all our natural oils, prompting the scalp to make more. But that makes our hair oily, so we wash it again, further stripping our scalp of natural protective oils... And because we’re stripping everything off our hair - and scalp - we need a conditioner to make it soft and smooth and healthy (everything the natural oils were trying to do, incidentally). Then, since we used a heavy conditioner, our hair is weighed-down and needs washing... Or, we can both clean and condition with a natural soap that gets out dirt and oils but doesn’t strip our hair, and simultaneously conditions it - and our scalp - with the naturally-occurring glycerin, as well as the goat milk and vitamin-rich egg yolks. Treating the scalp well is so important to healthy hair - if your skin is nourished and moisturized, it doesn’t need to produce more oils, and so your hair actually stays clean longer, and the whole cycle is healthier for hair and skin! This luxurious bar soap contains moisturizing olive, avocado and almond oils, and lots of castor oil which is great for hair, and local lard from pastured, non-GMO-fed pigs from Cove Creek Farm, hand-rendered here at Solace Farm, to give the shampoo stability and firmness. I also use my goats milk and some of my duck egg yolks for even more moisturizing. This bar doubles as a spectacular facial cleanser, in addition to being an amazingly conditioning shampoo, definitely the most moisturizing soap I've ever made. When using as shampoo, follow with an apple cider vinegar rinse (I use a small spritzer bottle) if you have harder water, and if you have soft water you probably don’t need anything, and there's no need for conditioner, although I sometimes use a teeny bit of diluted commercial organic conditioner as a leave-in detangler for my kids hair. Since I started making and using bar shampoo 10 years ago, this is all I use and I love it!

This is my exact same shampoo bar recipe, but absolutely fragrance-free. This bar is molded in the shape of a branching Tree of Life. NOTE: This shampoo bar uses local non-GMO lard from Pig Mountain farm, and I have just started making it with local grass-fed beef tallow from Dayspring Farm as well - the tallow results in a slightly harder bar that will last longer in your shower!

An invigorating citrus-herbal blend of rosemary, orange, lime & grapefruit essential oils. This recipe is vegetarian (but not vegan) with my usual goat milk, duck egg yolks and honey, but with the lard and tallow swapped out for sustainably grown red palm and palm kernel oils.

This bar has a spicy, herbal scent, with my own blend of ginger, lime and lavender essential oils. Goat milk is renowned for the luxurious qualities it gives soap, particularly gentle exfoliating and excellent moisturizing. I hand-milk my goats Gretchen, Snowpea, and Elvira, and use the rich milk as well as olive and coconut oils, almond, castor, and avocado oils and shea butter to make this wonderful soap. I don't use Palm oil as many soapmakers do - while it itself is a useful oil, I can't condone the harmful cultivation practices used to produce it, and find I don't need it - this soap is wonderful without it! It is so moisturizing and good for your skin, with extra vitamins and nutrients from the goat milk, as well as the luxurious oils I use. If you have used goat milk soap before, or any good handmade soap, you know that it is a completely different creature than commercial soap, which can be so drying! When soap is made by hand, the chemical reaction of oils with a lye solution forms the substances soap and glycerin. A typical bar of handmade soap is roughly 1/3 glycerin! This is a humectant, meaning it pulls water from the air - when on your skin, it literally moisturizes your skin by attracting water to it. In commercial soaps, the glycerin is distilled and removed, and later sold back to you in a lotion, but in the "real thing", it is all one package. I used to use lotions and moisturizers a lot, especially in the winter, but I virtually never use them anymore, other than some of my grass-fed tallow balm on my hands occasionally.

A completely unscented, fragrance-free bar of luxurious goat milk soap, handmade here at Solace Farm Homestead from scratch - I even milk the goats by hand. This soap is ideal for sensitive or allergy-prone skin - chemical fragrances are the #1 allergen in skin care, and I have to say, I was flabbergasted to learn recently that "unscented" commercial soap often uses fragrance to make it smell unscented. This is outrageous, and I surmise it's why you also find the term "fragrance-free" - because "unscented" may not actually be.  This soap is available in either a molded square bar with a Tree of Life etched on the front (this listing), a rectangular molded bar with the word "GOAT MILK" across the front, or a plain square bar (separate listings).  This molded bar is packaged in a windowed brown kraft paper box. With its beautiful design, these soaps would make a great gift for any occasion, and are a wonderfully moisturizing option for daily use.
