Local Goats Milk Soap from Colchester Essex
Goats Milk Soap is a pure product, made with 100% raw goats milk, natural oils and shea butter. It is gentle on the skin with a creamy moisturising lather due to the fat content in the milk, which also has gentle exfoliating properties. The soap contains no Parabens or preservatives; it is truly back to nature.
Goats milk contains many vitamins and is particularly high in vitamin A which is necessary to maintain healthy skin. It also contains selenium which can help prevent damage to the skin from excessive time in the sun.
In addition to the goats milk, the basic soap contains olive oil, cleansing coconut oil, responsibly sourced creamy palm oil and in some, conditioning shea butter. A choice of soaps containing botanicals are also available, i.e. Lavender, Orange, Tee Tree and more as you can see.
About my Soaps
For a long time my hands suffered with sore, dry, itchy, cracking skin. After trying many creams, nothing worked. A chance remark about my hands to my niece, Nina in America, who keeps goats, resulted in her sending me some of her Goats Milk Soap. I was amazed at how quickly my hands cleared and softened. I searched for a product exactly like Nina’s soap but to no avail. When on holiday with Nina and her family, she taught me how to make her goats milk soap. So I decided to make my own. I gave samples to family and friends and they asked could they have more as it helped them - hence Goat in a Soap was born!

About the Goats
The milk for my soaps comes from the Award Winning MONACH herd on the Essex/Suffolk border. On my very regular trips to the farm they seem to be happy goats and that pleases me. I like to think my lovely fresh milk comes from happy goats.
