Michalene's Handmade Goat Milk Soap
Goat's milk body and face soap. 28 different scents derived from either essential or fragrance oils. Also, one-of-a-kind handcrafted necklaces.
It took me years to perfect a recipe that would produce a body and face soap that is extremely moisturizing, very creamy and silky, and yet still produce nice big bubbles. I am proud to say that I achieved my goal. The main ingredients I use in all the soap bars are: goat's milk, silk, honey, and both Cocoa and Shea butters. There are 26 different scents to choose from and two unscented. The scents are derived from either essential or fragrance oils. The two unscented are my specialty bars: In the “Face” soap bar I use three additional oils --Avocado, Grape Seed and Wheat Germ -- in addition to the main ingredients. In the “Go Stout” soap bar I use Rhassoul clay, which is ideal for cleansing, detoxifying, removing impurities and replacing them with nourishing trace minerals.
