Goatmeal & Honey Handmade Soap For Face
This luxurious bar is everything your facial skin ever longed for but couldn't tell you it wanted. Our top selling bar for troubled skin, is mild, sudsy, gently exfoliating, hyper moisturizing, skin healing, AND it smells AMAZING. Seriously. Yum. Don't eat it.
We begin this three phase skincare process in a bar with alkanet root to gently detoxify, raw organic New Mexico Honey for antimicrobial properties and Colloidal Oatmeal & Goat's Milk to soothe the skin.
Our goat's milk cold process soaps are 6% super-fatted, which means there is an abundance of organic oil available after the saponification process to provide richly moisturizing nutrients to your skin.
We believe that infusing your day with moments of beauty and joy is essential to living well.
Our aim is to aid you in that journey with skin & soul nourishing soap.
All of our products are phthalate, paraben, sulfate, alcohol & dye free. We use all natural colorants such as mica powders, clays, spices, cocoa powder, activated charcoal and the like. Even the glitter we use is BioGlitter from eucalyptus cellulose.
Although we do use palm oil, it is RSPO certified organic and ethically sourced from small farms who have been operating sustainably for generations.
The well-being of you and your loved ones is our top priority.

Benefits
Benefits
ALKANET ROOT
Gentle Detoxification
- a natural, mild detoxifier that draws out impurities from the skin, leaving it clear and refreshed.
COLLOIDAL OATMEAL
Light Exfoliation
- exfoliates mildly but effectively, removing dirt, dead skin cells and impurities without stripping the skin of it's natural oils, soothing irritation and inflammation, forming a protective barrier that locks in moisture, and balances pH, which is crucial for healthy, glowing skin.
RAW ORGANIC NEW MEXICO HONEY
Antimicrobial Healing
- naturally rich in enzymes and compounds like hydrogen peroxide which gives it powerful antimicrobial properties that fight off bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms that can cause skin infections, irritation, inflammation, redness and the bacteria that causes acne. Honey balances skin flora, promotes healing and for those with conditions like eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis where the skin's protective barrier is compromised, honey acts as a protective agent and microbiome balancer, protecting the skin against secondary infections caused by bacteria and fungi and defending against pathogens.
ORGANIC GOAT'S MILK
Nourishing & Deeply Moisturizing
- packed with essential nutrients like vitamins A, E, B6, B12, minerals such as selenium. Goat's milk is a natural source of caprylic acid, capric acid, and lactic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates dead skin cells and promotes cell turnover and regeneration resulting in fresh, smooth, bright skin. The triglyceride fat molecules in goat's milk are small, making them more easily absorbed by the skin. This efficient absorption delivers moisture and nutrients directly to the skin's deeper layers, restoring and maintaining the skin's natural lipid barrier. This barrier protects from pollution, harsh weather which can lead to dryness and premature aging.
Naturally Anti-Aging
- we have been perfecting this formulation since 2015. As you have read above, each ingredient brings it's own benefits to the table, combining to provide enhanced hydration, nourishment and protection, leading to healthier, more resilient skin. We don't harp on it too much because we believe that aging is a privilege we should embrace and celebrate but it is the case that taking great care of your skin does in fact slow the signs of aging.
Suitable For All Skin Types
- Goatmeal & Honey is suitable for any and all skin types, especially the most sensitive or problem skin. This is the bar for anyone with acne, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, dry skin or just picky, sensitive skin. Although it has been developed for our delicate facial skin, it is absolutely appropriate to use it as a whole body bar for troubled skin or just because you LOVE taking great care of your skin. We do recommend following up with an oil free sensitive skin moisturizer if you are in the process of healing your skin.
DELECTABLE SCENT
- did we mention that this bar smells INCREDIBLE? Oatmeal, honey, milk and all of the natural additives combine for a sensory delight.
ALL NATURAL
- No phthalates, parabens, sulfates, alcohol or dyes. No headache. No Toxins. Just bliss & gorgeous skin.

Sustainable, Cruelty Free & Handmade with Love
For Best Results...
Goatmeal and Honey is designed to be used directly on the face. The gently exfoliating nature of colloidal oatmeal works best when you first moisten your face with warm water (if you use a makeup remover, use that first) and then rub the bar directly on your skin. You can let it sit or continue to massage your face for a moment or two and then gently rinse with lukewarm water. Not too hot for your delicate facial skin. Pat dry and follow up with the moisturizer of your choice. If you aren't sure what to choose, we recommend any oil-free sensitive skin moisturizer.

AKA FAQs
Isn't Palm Oil Evil Now?
Palm oil itself has never been evil and ours is RSPO certified sustainable. What does this mean?
The Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil has certified that the palm oil we use has come from small, legacy farms that have been using sustainable farming methods for generations.
Rather than having a knee jerk reaction to current hot button issues, we have chosen to continue including palm, a wonderful oil with many valuable and nourishing properties for the skin, we chose to dive a little deeper into the issue and support families that rely on selling their crops for subsistence. In this way we have made a choice that is good for the planet and also our fellow humans on the other side of the globe.
Can I Make My Candle Last Forever?
Nope.
She's here for a good time, not for a long time, even with our long-burning blend - especially if it's your favorite scent - but you CAN help it live it's best life by following these steps:
- Burn your candle long enough that the melt pool extends to the entire diameter of your vessel, especially the first time you burn it. This prevents tunneling.
- Trim your wick to 1/4" before burning each time. This reduces smoking and extends the burn time of your candle.
- Please burn your candle in a safe place. Place it on a non-flammable surface away from curtains, hanging decorations and out from under any cabinets etc.
- Keep your lit candle away from children and pets.
- We recommend not burning your candle longer than 4 hours at a time. If you forget and your wick drifts over toward the edge of your vessel, re-center it after extinguishing the flame but while the wax is still warm, using a non-flammable tool such as a wick dipper.
- Don't BLOW your candle out. Use a snuffer, wick dipper or even gently place the lid over the vessel to put it out so hot wax doesn't splatter and reduce smoke.
- Let your candle cool completely once you've extinguished it before touching or moving it. A burning candle's average temperature is 1,800 degrees. We don't want you or your loved ones to be injured.
- We recommend you stop burning your candle once the wax has reached 1/4 inch from the bottom. We know many people ignore this rule and if you are one of them, we get it, you want to squeeze every drop of delectable fragrance out of your candle. Please KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR CANDLE. Why? If the entirety of your wax pool is sitting liquid on the bottom of your vessel with a flaming wick in the center, all of the wax may catch fire at once, turning your vessel into an impromptu sterno pot. Suboptimal. Hence the suggestion not to burn it to the bitter end, but if you must... please have a care.
- Store your candle with the lid on and in a cool, dry place when not in use. This keeps dust out and preserves the scent.
Super-Fat Is Where It's AT! (Why our soap is NEVER drying)
I bet you're sitting there wondering what the heck super-fat means and what on earth it has to do with soap that soothes and moisturizes dry irritable skin.
Hang on. Here comes the nerdy stuff. Short version?
SKIN LIKES FAT SO WE GIVE IT SOME IN OUR SOAP.
When you make soap, you calculate the precise amount of sodium hydroxide (yes, this means lye and it has to be there in order for it to be soap, see next question) that needs to be added to your recipe's specific oils and butters and the ratios at which they appear in the formula.
The fats we use are organic food grade vegetable oils and butters.
If a formula is left exactly at that 1:1 kind of ratio, all of the oils and butters are bonded with the sodium hydroxide and turned into soap. However, if you calculate the amount of sodium hydroxide you add to your recipe to be LESS than the 1:1 ratio,
the fatty acids (the yummy nourishing oils and butters described above) are left available for your skin to absorb.
Our formulations are calculated at 6% superfat for body and face bars and 20% for shampoo, hand and pet soaps.
Those percentages of oils and butters are what are left available for your skin to absorb and what gives our soap (along with the exact ratios and choices of base ingredients) it's increased moisturizing and emollient properties.
That is why our soaps will never make your skin feel tight, stretched, dry or flaky.
It's Super-Fat, and that's a GOOD thing.
Does Your Soap Have Lye?
Yes.
All soap has lye.
If you're using a bar or dollop of something to wash your skin and it doesn't have lye, it is a detergent or surfactant and not soap.
Sodium hydroxide (lye) saponifies (turns into soap) oils and butters and that is soap making in it's simplest terms. If there's no lye (this can also be potassium hydroxide or even ashes) you don't have soap, you have something else.
No shade, but if you are buying handmade soap and the person selling it to you says that it doesn't have lye in it, they aren't a soap maker.
They may have purchased a melt and pour base and used that to "make" soap and don't understand that the base already has lye in it or they may buy their soap and repackage it and not understand their ingredients ie. the ingredients say saponified xy&z oils and butters which MEANS, lye (sodium or potassium hydroxide) was applied to turn those base ingredients into soap.
Finally, please don't be afraid of soap made with lye.
Properly made soap has a very precise amount of lye calculated based on the exact oils and butters and their weights and in the case of our soap, we reduce that amount so that 6% of the gorgeous, nourishing organic vegetable oils and butters we use are available AFTER saponification for your skin to absorb.
That's why they're so moisturizing.
We've got you.
