And how to choose the right bar for your skin
If your skin feels tight, flaky, or irritated after washing—you're not alone. Dry skin is one of the most common issues we hear about, especially from people who’ve tried everything with no real results.
But here’s the truth: most store-bought soaps are actually making it worse.

The Problem: Most Soap Strips Your Skin 
Traditional soap (even ones labeled “moisturizing”) often contains detergents, alcohols, and synthetic fragrances. These strip away your skin’s natural oils, which your body needs to stay soft, hydrated, and healthy.
Over time, that leads to:

• Itching and tightness after every shower
• Cracked hands and flaky skin
• Skin that never feels fully nourished, no matter what lotion you use

The Solution: Raw Goat Milk + Nourishing Fats
Goat milk soap is different—especially when it’s made the way we make it.
✅ Raw Goat Milk is rich in natural lactic acid, vitamins, and fatty acids that help gently exfoliate and deeply moisturize dry skin.
✅ Olive oil, tallow, and shea butter give your skin lasting moisture, not just a temporary fix.
✅ No harsh ingredients—ever. No parabens, no phthalates, no detergents, no fake fragrance.
Every bar is small-batch crafted on our farm with ingredients that actually feed your skin—not fight it.

Which Bar Should You Try First?

​1. Keep it Dry: Use a well-draining soap dish to prevent your soap from sitting in water. This helps it last longer and keeps the ingredients potent.

2. Store in a Cool, Dry Place: When you're not using it, store your soap in a cool, dry place to preserve its natural ingredients and essential oils.

3. Rotate Bars: If you have multiple soaps, rotate them to keep them fresh and extend the life of each bar.

4. Use your soap within 6 months for the best scent. It's natural and won't last forever.

5. Store any unused soap in a dark, dry, room temp location. Heat and humidity are handmade soaps enemies.

6. If you accidentally bought a lot of handmade soap, wrap in waxed paper or parchment paper, place in a freezer Ziploc and place in the freezer. When ready to thaw, remove the soap from the Ziploc, unwrap the soap and allow to set at room temperature for 24 hours and you will have a like new bar of soap!

Horehound (Marrubium vulgare) is a robust, hardy herb that has carved a niche for itself in both historical and modern medicinal practices. With its downy leaves and white flowers, this unassuming plant carries a wealth of healing properties and a rich history that dates back to ancient times.


A Glimpse into Horehound’s History
Horehound has been revered for centuries as a medicinal powerhouse. Its use can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where it was considered sacred and used in a variety of healing practices. The Greeks and Romans also embraced this herb, particularly for its ability to soothe respiratory ailments.
During the Middle Ages, horehound was a staple in herbal medicine, often used in cough syrups and lozenges. It was a common remedy for colds, coughs, and other respiratory issues, and its popularity spread across Europe and eventually to North America with early settlers.


Medicinal Uses of Horehound
Horehound’s primary claim to fame lies in its medicinal properties, particularly in treating respiratory conditions. The herb is rich in marrubiin, a bitter compound that acts as an expectorant, making it easier to expel mucus from the lungs. This makes horehound an effective natural remedy for bronchitis, asthma, and coughs.

Here are some of the medicinal benefits of horehound:

1. Respiratory Relief: Horehound is most commonly used to alleviate coughs and colds. It can help soothe a sore throat, reduce phlegm, and clear congestion. Many traditional cough syrups and lozenges contain horehound for this reason.

2. Digestive Aid: The bitter properties of horehound stimulate digestion and can help with issues like indigestion, bloating, and loss of appetite. It promotes the secretion of digestive juices and bile, aiding in the overall digestive process.

3. Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant: Horehound has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation in the body, particularly in the respiratory and digestive systems. It also contains antioxidants that help protect the body from oxidative stress.

4. Wound Healing: Horehound can be applied topically to help heal wounds and cuts. Its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties make it a useful herb for promoting skin healing.


Ways to Use Horehound
Horehound Candy/Cough Drops: Traditionally, horehound was used to make a bitter candy that was not only a treat but also served as a remedy for sore throats and coughs. The candy is still enjoyed by those who appreciate its distinctive flavor.

Tea: Horehound tea is another common way to consume the herb. It’s often sweetened with honey to counteract the bitterness and can be sipped to relieve respiratory or digestive discomfort.

Infusions and Tinctures: Horehound can be made into infusions or tinctures for internal use, providing a more concentrated form of the herb's medicinal properties.

Horehound is a part of the mint family and is relatively easy to grow and if left unattended while planted in the ground, will spread easily. But is manageable in a container!
