Goat's Milk has been used as an
ingredient in cosmetics and therapeutic treatments in different cultures for thousands of
years. We use goat's milk because it contains special proteins and triglycerides that are
easily absorbed by the skin resulting in a natural moisturizing effect. We only use fresh,
all natural goat's milk in our soap.
Lanolin is the precious oily secretion from the skin of the
sheep that becomes trapped in the sheep's wool. The lanolin is the sheep's natural
protector against the extremes of its environment. Lanolin is extremely similar to those
natural oils we secrete from within our own skin. Thus lanolin is the only animal (human
compatible) oil obtainable without having to kill or dissect the animal. It is a wonderful
replacement of our endlessly leached skin oils (washing, pollution, air-conditioning etc.)
due to our environmental harshness and modern way of life. However, some people may be
allergic to lanolin.
We decided to combine goat's milk and lanolin with other
skin nourishing oils (olive oil, coconut oil, soy oil, and cocoa butter) to produce an all
natural, luxurious soap that leaves your skin feeling clean and soft.
At West Elm Farm, we use the cold-process method of soap
making. This ensures that glycerin, which is a valuable by-product of the saponification
process, remains in the finished soap, whereas in commercial soap making this is often
extracted and sold separately. Essential fragrance oils are added for a delicate scent.
The result: natural luxury for your skin! We hope you agree!
