The very fine, naturally absorbent texture, gently cleans, exfoliates, and help to eliminates clogged pores, while helping to improve circulation. Kaolin Clay is soothing, cleansing, hydrating, detoxifying, and gives soap a smooth creamy lather.

Arrow Root Powder

Arrowroot Powder made from a starch extracted from the rhizome of the arrowroot plant. It imparts a silky texture to body creams and helps decrease the oily feeling of natural oils and butters. Arrowroot powder also helps absorb perspiration.

Coconut Powder

Coconut milk is softening, soothing and moisturizing to the skin, adds creaminess to the handcrafted soap. Rich in natural antiseptic fatty acids, coconut milk gently helps to remove impurities without drying sensitive skin.

Goat Milk

Goat Milk is one of nature’s finest moisturizers and skin softeners due to its high butterfat content. Rich in vitamins, goat milk also contains lactic acid, one of the most commonly used alpha hydroxy acids in skin care. Alpha-hydroxy acids penetrate the skin and have rejuvenating effects on skin's cells, neutralizing free radicals, slowing the aging process and improving the overall look and feel of the skin.
