  • Best Soap for Repealing Bugs

    During this time of year bugs are a nuisance! Flies are starting to come out, mosquitos are making their seasonal appearance, and it won’t be long until the gnats start to become a problem. It’s easy to reach for one of those bug sprays, many of which contain deet, but why not try something more natural? There are several essential oils that are said to help ward off bugs. So instead of reaching for the spray try using one of our soaps that contain these essential oils in the morning to help deter the bugs. While there is no guarantee that using the soap will prevent all mosquitos and other bugs from bothering you (if you’ve ever used the sprays you know this is true with those as well) it can at least could help.

    Lemongrass Green Tea Goat Milk Soap

    A recent study revealed that lemongrass essential oil has the ability to help discourage mosquitos as well as deet. It has a wonderful woody, slightly citrus, scent that humans love, but apparently mosquitos hate. This is our go to soap when we are spending a lot of time outside and the mosquitos are biting.

    Tea Tree Goat Milk Soap

    I’m not one of those girls who normally has issues with bugs… but I hate ticks! Breckin got Lymes a few years ago and it was very scary. Now, in addition to nightly “tick checks” we do whatever we can to avoid ticks getting on us and the children. Tea tree essential oil is supposed to help repel ticks.

    During the buggy season don’t forget about your dog! They are bothered by fleas, ticks, and flies as well! Our Canine Shampoo Goat Milk Soap contains lavender, tea tree, and rosemary essential oils. All of these are supposed to repel bugs.

You can use our Canine Shampoo on yourself!

  • What’s in our Soap Dish – May

    Which of our goat milk soaps will you find in our soap dish in May? Read on to find out!

    Coffee Goat Milk Soap

    In May, Coffee is our go to soap! The garden is in bloom, plants are popping up all over the place, and we are spending hours a day with our hands in the dirt. The dirt gets into the cracks and crevasses of your hand and begins to stain your skin. Most soaps don’t do the job of getting your hands back to normal. They may help to the get surface dirt off and to moisturize, but in order to get that deep dirt out of the cracks of your hands you need something that’s nice and scrubby! That’s where our coffee soap comes in! It’s great for getting off dirt making it the perfect soap for gardeners.

    Lemongrass Green Tea Goat Milk Soap

    Mosquito season is here… unfortunately. They are awful to deal with and people often resort to putting chemical insect repellents on their skin to avoid being bitten. If you are trying to avoid this chemical exposure essentials oils like lemongrass might be an option for you! Lemongrass is a natural mosquito repellent, whether it is planted around your home or put on your skin in the essential oil form (never apply straight essential oils directly to your skin). Our Lemongrass Green Tea Goat Milk Soap is a great way to help deter mosquitos naturally. We use it a lot this time of year, as we spend most of our time outside.
