Christmas - a time of rejoicing in the joy, peace, and hope brought to mankind, it is also a time holding traditions and memories.  One of our family traditions is picking a Christmas tree from the woods on our farm.  In the middle of December we set a time for a "Christmas Tree Hunt" and when the day comes set out on the search.  While the tree we find is not the prettiest tree in the world, the cedar we pick is ours.  We bring it home, let it sit in water overnight, and then set it up in our dining room where we begin decorating it, carefully working around the prickly needles.  For the next ten days or so our home is filled with the fresh scent of cedar.

O Christmas Tree is a great soap for the holidays, or for anytime you feel like using a more "woodsy" scent.  It contains a blend of cedarwood and fir needle essential oils, combining the evergreen scent of two kinds of Christmas trees.  This soap is made with moisturizing goat's milk, olive oil, coconut oil, and red palm oil.  Its orange color comes from the palm oil which is loaded with vitamin E and carotene.

           O Christmas Tree is available in a variety of molds: Nubian doe with nursing kid, Dog, Lighthouse, Joy, and Christmas Tree.  You can purchase this soap here on Etsy.  If you would like a different shape than the bar of soap pictured, please include a note with your order.

Note: some people are sensitive to cedar and fir.  If you have an extreme sensitivity or allergy, this is not the soap for you.

"There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance; pray you, love, remember." 

-William Shakespeare (Hamlet, Act 4, Scene 5)

Whether or not you use rosemary for remembrance, it has a very distinct and energizing scent.  In the form of essential oil it takes on a slightly different fragrance than the herb - a more earthy fragrance.
Rosemary Mist Goat Milk Soap is made with my standard soap ingredients, olive oil, goat milk, coconut oil, and red palm oil, in addition to pure rosemary essential oil and dried rosemary.  The pieces pieces of dried rosemary add a flecked appearance, as well as a little texture, to the soap.

These 4 oz bars of soap are currently available in three different molds: Goat kid, Bee, and Horse.

Especially For You

Classic.  Old-fashioned.  Homey.

Nothing smells quite as good or homey as food fresh from the oven, especially when that food just happens to be dessert. 

Apple.  Cinnamon.  Spice.

Make it a pie crust with apples, cinnamon, and other spice, piping hot from the oven with a scoop of ice cream on top, and you've just about got the perfect dessert.  (Is your mouth watering?)

This pretty much describes my Hot Apple Pie Goat Milk Soap.  While you can't eat it, it provides a reminiscent aroma of all the pleasant memories associated with a hot apple pie.  Memories of people.  Memories of good times.  Memories of quiet evenings.  All this without needing to worry about adding on extra pounds.

This goat milk soap is made with moisturizing olive oil, coconut oil, red palm oil, and of course, goat's milk.  While your olfactory organs enjoy the pleasant scent, your skin will enjoy the nourishing effects of this natural product.

Hot Apple Pie Goat Milk soap is available in the following molded bars:  

-Lighthouse

-Horse

-Joy

-Christmas Tree

Especially For You

Think lemon, lime, and bergamot.  Mix these scents together, and what do you get?  Citrus burst goat milk soap!  This soap is just "bursting" with the citrus aroma imparted by these three essential oils.

Bergamot

Lemon and lime - those are common enough -  but what is bergamot?  Unlike these other two citrus fruits, bergamot is not native to the United States. It is grown in Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa.  Maybe that's why it's not as well known.  Bergamot is a key flavor in Earl Grey Tea (and for those who have never tried it, it is totally worth it) and is also used frequently  as a scent in perfume and cologne.

Uplifting and rejuvenating, Citrus Burst goat milk soap is a great way to start off the day.  Breath in its uplifting fragrance while gently cleansing and moisturizing your skin. This soap is available in the dome bar, goat kid bar, and the bar with the goat head on it.
Find this item here on Etsy!
    
Note: While a significant amount of citrus essential oil has been added to this soap, citrus oils lose their fragrance more quickly than other oils.  The older this soap gets, the "lighter" its fragrance will become.
