No, This was a decision made with clear and precise intention. Palm oil the least expensive vegetable oil in the world and most soap makers add it to their soaps to cut the cost and gain more profit. The demand for cheap palm oil has skyrocketed. (Profit over Planet) Palm oil has been and continues to be a major driver of deforestation of some of the world's most biodiverse forests, destroying the habitat of endangered species. Did I mention exploited and forced labor? Ignored by corporations focused solely on reaping the highest profits possible.
We have not only decided to pass up the use of palm oil in our recipes, (even though there are companies out there who claim they are sustainable palm oil) but to also plant trees to contribute to our reforestation project on top of that.
We’re honored to have reforestation as an integral part of our business model and have been planting trees (of course with your help) for years now. We could not accomplish this without you all.
Thank you for becoming more aware, keeping your eyes open and mind sharp. We can ALL make a difference with tiny steps. It's as simple as reading those labels, and going Palm Oil Free!
Lye soap and solid shampoo bars are both solid bars that are used for cleaning, but they differ in their composition and purpose. Lye soap, also known as cold process soap, is made by mixing fats or oils with lye (sodium hydroxide) and water in a reaction called saponification. Which magically makes wonderful solid body soap that is effective in cleaning and removing dirt and oils from the skin. On the other hand, solid shampoo bars are specifically formulated for cleaning the hair. They are made with gentle surfactants and other hair-friendly ingredients like oils, butters, and essential oils. They are not made with lye (Sodium Hydroxide).
In Short: Both lye soap and solid shampoo bars are solid bars used for cleaning, However they have different compositions and purposes.
Lye soap is used for cleaning the skin, while solid shampoo bars are designed for cleaning the hair. And some solid bars made with surfacents are formulated to do both. Be aware that some makers will and do tell you that lye soap is safe for your hair. It's not. Overtime it will and does damage the hair shaft. Reach out to your haircare professional/ hair dresser if you need to. Use Our Ph Balanced Shampoo Bars on your hair and Our Lye Soaps on your Body.
Several studies have shown that goat milk proteins have many benefits for people suffering from skin conditions. Goat's milk contains several types of protein, including caseins, whey proteins, and immunoglobulins, and is gentle on the skins mantle. Goats milk has the closest PH level to our skin. Although, we cannot claim our products will heal and definitely can't claim to treat medical conditions; with a quick online search you will discover the vast range of beneficial properties and stories associated with the use of Goat Milk in skin care.
With any skin condition; we always advise you seek a professional skin care specialist or dermatologist for advise. Each persons skin is unique in its own way. When it comes to eczema there are multi levels of the condition and its hard to gauge what would suit you best. Any fragrances or essential oils could be very irritating to the Eczema. We do offer fragrance free options.
No, Many of these yoni soaps are sold with ingredients and additives that are not safe for feminine use or in soaps in general. This Instagram craze can be potentially very dangerous and we suggest you steer clear. No bar of soap is going to cure menstrual cramps, tighten your vagina, balance your hormones, or cure your bacterial and fungal disease and it's against the law to sell soap claiming this. Those that do, do not care for your well being. I have seen botanicals added to glycerin soaps,(virtually rotting with mold), being sold to unsuspecting consumers. STOP with the madness! Just say NO!
They both have amazing benefits for the skin. The question of whether shea butter or goat milk soap is better depends on your personal preferences and goals. Choosing either of these is a step in the right direction, and far, far, away from those neon green IR*ISH SPRING, or THOSE CHEMICAL FILLED D*VE bars. Eeeeek!
Our goat milk soaps are a creamy luxurious lather, due to the high quality oils used to make the soaps. Sometimes big bubbles can be a sign of dangerous additives in commercial grade soaps. Bigger is not always better.
There are a few disadvantages of using goat milk soap. The first is that it's not cheaply made therefore its not cheap to buy. Goat milk soap is typically at a higher cost because goats have to be fed and cared for, which costs more money. The second disadvantage is that it can be difficult to find in stores. If you see a cheaper goat milk soap, be sure to check all the ingredients (which should be listed). Some soap companies like (Z*M BAR) try to hide ingredients, by not fully listing them on the labels. This is not only dangerous, but untrustworthy, and in our opinion morally wrong. Consumers are catching on and learning what to look out for. You deserve to know what your are purchasing!
