Apples & Peppermint 3-Butter Goat Milk Soap


This wedged soap consists of two alternating layers of goat milk and three-butter (shea butter, mango butter, and cocoa butter) bases with apple essential oils and a faint undertone of peppermint. The confetti-like topping is made with 3-butter soap shavings which we’ve blended into the top layer of the soap. 

The goat milk has a luxurious, creamy feel to it, and it lathers nicely. Goat milk has, for centuries, been said to be a natural moisturizer. It is an emollient which softens and soothes the skin. Goat milk contains vitamin A, which has been found to help repair damaged skin tissue, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and maintain healthy skin.

It also contains alpha hydroxy acids including lactic acid, which is said to help remove dead skin cells by breaking down the bonds which hold those dead cells together. And it’s done without harsh chemical acids.

While some water-based soaps may be fortified with vitamins, most are not.

The three-butter layers are detergent free and all three of the main ingredients — shea butter, cocoa butter, and mango butter — are said to benefit dry skin.

This is an excellent mixture of fragrances. It’s heavy on the crisp aroma of fresh-cut green apples with a faint peppermint undertone. 

The uplifting and rejuvenating aroma of green apples is the first aroma you smell. The peppermint oil which is used in the peppermint fragrance has long been used to help those who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), heartburn, indigestion, and nausea as well as to reduce stress and stress headaches.

This soap is great for either the shower or bath and for face-washing, and it will keep you running your fingers across your softened skin!

The soaps and the fragrances in these soaps are alcohol-free and vegan.
