SMALL BATCH production + HIGH QUALITY ingredients
As a small business, we take pride in the safety, quality and efficacy of our products. Our tallow is locally sourced and self-rendered as often as possible. Our goats milk is hand milked from our own goats. Our added ingredients come from dedicated, reputable skincare wholesalers (not Amazon).
Sure, it'd be cheaper (and easier) to source sub-par ingredients from giant, online retailers...It'd be cheaper to buy goats milk than to own, breed, raise and milk goats! But we've found that the time and care we take in the sourcing and preparation of our ingredients is what makes ALL the difference in our products.
We take the time to carefully research the types of oils, vitamins and other ingredients that we cannot source ourselves. We carefully select the most effective, stable and quality products possible. You get more than you pay for and our satisfied clients are the proof!
Grass Fed Tallow
You’re a Human, Not a Plant: Plant oils are not as compatible with our skin as animal fats - specifically beef fat which has the closest fat profile to our own skin! It’s packed full of anti-aging nutrients.
Antioxidants: Tallow is loaded with antioxidants, which can reduce oxidative stress and signs of aging. They also inhibit microbial growth and oxidation of the product itself, which increases its shelf-life and makes for an anti-inflammatory ingredient for skincare!
Beneficial Fats & Fat-Soluble Vitamins: Tallow is rich in oleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid - all known for their abilities to deeply penetrate the skin and prevent water loss from the skins surface. It’s also full of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K!
Arrowroot Powder
This naturally soft powder is rich in iron, zinc, potassium, and vitamin B6. In addition, it softens and heals the skin, which explains why it is a superior baby skincare product. One of the best benefits of arrowroot powder is that it can also be used to nourish a baby's skin.
Diaper Rash: It's "enhanced absorbent properties prevent moisture build-up and reduce the chances of bacterial growth and rashes" - Dr Ravishankar.
Inflammatory Skin Conditions: such as eczema. "Arrowroot powder contains essential nutrients such as zinc, potassium, vitamin B6 and iron that provide relief aganst the inflammatory process and irritation. These nutrients nourish and protect the skin."
Provides Nourishment: Arrowroot powder has a high nutrient profile. Dr. Ravishankar explains that it improves skin texture, reduces excessive oil production and provides healthy glowing skin. Using arrowroot powder can help nourish your baby's delicate skin, keeping it health and vibrant.
Perfect Alternative to Talc: Talc can be harmful to baby's skin. "Talc can cause respiratory issues and my even be carcinogenic," says Dr. Ravishankar. Arrowroot powder absorbs moisture very well, making it an ideal alternative to talc.
Provides a Protective Barrier Against Moisture: Using arrowroot powder with coconut oil can provide a protective barrier against moisture build up. Coconut has natural cooling, soothing and highly absorbant properties that work well with arrowroot powder - not to mention the antibacterial and antimicrobial properties coconut oil is so well known for.

We use 100% raw, "fresh-squeezed" milk from our own goats. No goats milk powders from amazon, no canned goats milk and certainly no "goats milk soap making kits"!
Goats milk soap has recently been proven to effectively treat acne and is less allergenic than synthetically loaded commercial soaps and detergents.
It is known that goats milk can reduce skin inflammation, and soothes dry and damaged skin. Our Exfoliating Goats Milk Charcoal Facial Bar can help reduce wrinkles and delay signs of skin aging. It's natural emollients and triglycerides moisturize skin because goats milk has the closest PH level to our skin. This helps protect our skin from invading bacteria and chemicals.
Loaded with essential nutrients and vitamins like vitamin C, B1, B6, B12, and E, goats milk soap acts as a gentle exfoliator. It has alpha-hydroxy acids that soften the skin by breaking down the glue that holds dead skin cells together.
Bentonite Clay
Bentonite clay acts like a magnet, drawing toxic substances away from places like our skin, our mouths, and our internal organs. Because it is naturally antibacterial, it has been proven to be effective against diaper rash and other skin conditions. Bentonite clay contains many nutrients including:
-
calcium
-
magnesium
-
silica
-
sodium
-
copper
-
iron
-
potassium
One study showed that babies treated with bentonite clay showed improvement within 6 hours!
Essential Oils & CO2 Extracts
We use only 100% pure, cold pressed oils and therapeutic grade essential oils in our skin care products. Unlike fragrance oils that can cause irritation, essential oils are concentrated bottles of goodness derived directly from different herbs, flowers and other medicinal plants.
Cold-pressed oils (such as our olive oils, coconut oils and more) retain many more anti-inflammatory and nutrient rich vitamins than oils rendered with heat.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THDA)
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THDA) is a powerful precursor of C, celebrated for its protective and corrective skin benefits. This oil-soluble liquid stands out due to its remarkable stability; unlike its water-soluble counterpart, L-ascorbic acid, THDA remains effective even exposed to light and air. Recent studies have shown that THDA outperforms L-ascorbic acid, thanks to its superior penetration abilities. Its potent antioxidant properties help neutralize radicals, protecting skin from environmental damage and improving photo-damaged skin. THDA also has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe the skin, making it for sensitive skin types. It helps to reduce redness and irritation while supporting the skin's natural barrier function.
