Shaving Cedarwood Vanilla Goat Milk Soap

This round Goat Milk Shaving Soap weighs 3.5 - 4 oz. and has a 3" diameter, which fits perfectly in most shaving bowls. Each Shaving Soap comes in a breathable cotton bag to save on plastic packaging.

All soaps are weighed after their 6 week curing period. If they fall in the appropriate weight range, they are bagged. Please remember that as Goat Milk Soap ages and cures, it loses some water weight. So if the soap you order is much older than 6 weeks, it may weigh a little less than listed. But the longer soap cures, the harder it gets and the longer it lasts!

Ingredients: Raw goat milk; Saponified sweet almond oil, castor oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, palm oil, shea butter; Aloe; Clay; Vitamin E; Cedarwood essential oil; Vanilla fragrance oil.

Raw Goat Milk
Unlike our competitors, we only use goat milk from our own herd of healthy, pastured dairy goats. Our milk travels several hundred feet from our milking parlor to our soaproom. It isn't transported hundreds of miles and it's often turned into soap the same day it is collected. This ultra-fresh milk is as healthy as possible and is high in skin-nourishing ingredients like Selenium, Vitamin A, and Lactic Acid.

Sweet Almond Oil 
Sweet almond oil is a natural emollient, so it helps moisturize your skin. It’s easily absorbed into skin and contains fatty acids that help to keep skin soft and supple. It has vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from oxidative stress. It also contains vitamin A, which can help to improve skin tone and complexion. It can help to reduce the appearance of dark circles under the eyes, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of stretch marks. It is also anti-inflammatory so it can help soothe and calm irritated skin. 

Castor Oil
If you have acne, rosacea, or any other inflammatory skin condition, castor oil's anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe your skin and reduce redness. It contains antimicrobial and antibacterial properties that can help prevent bacteria growth on your skin, which can help you avoid skin infections and breakouts. Castor oil is rich in antioxidants that can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your skin. 

Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer that can make your skin feel soft and smooth. Coconut oil has antimicrobial properties, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help treat skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Coconut oil has a small amount of natural SPF, so it can provide some minor sun protection for your skin. Coconut oil contains vitamin E, which can help even out your skin tone and reduce dark spots.

Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil goes deep into your skin to keep it feeling soft. It is ideal for any skin type, from dry skin to oily skin, as it suppresses oil production in the skin while keeping your skin hydrated. Jojoba mimics human sebum without clogging pores or exacerbating acne. It has natural anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties that can calm your skin. It is rich in antioxidants and vitamin E, which helps combat free radicals that cause premature aging.

Olive Oil
Olive oil is a natural emollient, and can keep your skin hydrated and nourished. Its healthy fats can penetrate deeply into your skin, leaving it soft and supple. It is packed with antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols that can help neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation caused by sun damage. This can help prevent signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines. It contains anti-inflammatory compounds that can help soothe your skin as well as natural antimicrobial compounds that can help fight bacteria on your skin. 

Sustainable Palm Oil
Palm oil has great cleansing properties, making it effective at removing dirt, oils, and impurities from the skin. It creates a creamy and stable lather in soap, making the soap rich and foamy! It can help retain moisture in the skin by forming a protective barrier. It contributes to the durability and longevity of the soap, making it less likely to dissolve or become mushy when in contact with water. Sustainable palm oil production helps to end deforestation, protect wildlife and habitats, and treat local people fairly.

Shea Butter
Shea butter is packed with fatty acids that help hydrate, nourish, and keep your skin soft. It helps balance sebum production which prevents the build-up of oil on your skin. It contains cinnamic acid, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties that can help to promote healing and prevent infection. It is rich in vitamins A and E, which can help improve skin elasticity and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It also contains antioxidants which help to protect skin from damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress.

Aloe
Aloe is excellent for dry or irritated skin because it contains polysaccharides that can retain moisture. It also contains anti-inflammatory properties and can help soothe and reduce redness, swelling, and pain from razor burn. It promotes collagen production which helps to heal any minor cuts and nicks from shaving. It also has anti-bacterial properties which aids in preventing skin infections.

Bentonite Clay
Bentonite clay is highly absorbent and can draw out excess oil from the skin. It is a mild exfoliator and helps remove dead skin cells. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe and calm skin that is irritated from shaving. It can also help your razor to glide more smoothly over your skin. Because it is rich in minerals such as magnesium and calcium, it can help to heal skin that has been nicked by razors during shaving which can support skin healing and promote overall skin health. 

Vitamin E
Vitamin E oil is a powerful antioxidant than can help your skin look younger because it combats the effects of free radicals which can cause skin aging. It helps moisturize your skin because it stengthens your skin barrier which helps your skin retain moisture. I can also calm your skin by helping to reduce redness, irritation, and inflammation.

Essential Oils
Essential oils are purely plant derived and can provide many benefits for you and your skin. From the relaxing and refreshing effects of oils often used in aromatherapy to the reduction of the effects of skin problems like acne, you will find these oils to be powerful, especially when combined with the wonderful qualities of goat milk.

Fragrance Oils
Some of our most popular goat milk soaps are scented with fragrance oils. These scents can't be derived from plants and need to be created with a synthetic component. All fragrance oils are certified paraben-free and phthalate-free.  

Saponified
Saponification is the chemical soapmaking reaction that turns the ingredients into soap. We use sodium hydroxide as the catalyst for bar soap and potassium hydroxide as the catalyst for liquid soap. Neither of these ingredients are left in the finished soap. They have all been used up in the saponification reaction and turned into soap. 

Cedarwood Vanilla is a warm and woodsy fragrance that will envelop you with a scent reminiscent of the outdoors. This fragrance blend is a combination of cedarwood essential oil with a hint of vanilla to add a soft, sweet, and delicious warmth to the overall rugged base.

Extracted from cedar and juniper trees, Cedarwood essential oil is thought to have skin-boosting benefits. Its natural compounds (like alpha and beta cedrene) are said to hold healing properties suited for conditions such as acne and alopecia areata. Whether you choose this scent for it’s healthy properties, or just to enjoy a sophisticated yet rugged take on the smells of the forest, Cedarwood Vanilla is a great unisex scent option.
