What Makes Goat Milk Soap Different?
   For hundreds of years goat milk soap has been treasured for the qualities   associated with goat's milk; capric, caprylic and capricylic acids.  These  ingredients are often  added to commercial soaps, while goat's milk has  them all.   The  pH is similar to human skin's pH, and the lactic and lauric acids help with soothing and cleaning sensitive skin.
 
What makes Surfing Goat Soaps Different?
  First off, I believe it's our goats. Their particular breed, combined with the care and the environment here has helped them stay healthy, and that helps them produce high quality milk. 
   Technically, goat milk soap can be made with glycerine with a little goat milk powder.  People can buy a "goat milk base," which someone else formulated and then pour it into a mold and call it "farm made."  Others use powdered milk mixed with water, to get those nutrients into their soap. 
  Surfing Goat Soaps is made with Hames & Axle Farm goat's milk.  The only water we add is if it's part of a recipe, such as a Green Tea soap.  We make it the "old fashioned" way, cold processed, cured for at least a month, and hand cleaned and wrapped. 

Does it lather? 
Yes, though the exact amount of lather depends upon the oils used in it.  I feel that lather is important,but it shortens the "life" of the soap, as more soap is lost in making foam, rather than going to the user's skin. 

Is it safe for sensitive skin? 
  Technically I'm not allowed to make such claims.  But I can tell you that I have had several doctors recommend goat milk soap their customers. Some of them are actually my customers. 

What's your favorite? 
I usually answer, I like them all or I wouldn't make them. But I do have my favorites based upon the season. In the winter I use Lavender Lanolin.  In summer, when I need to deal with summer sweats, I like FaceSaver.  Recently I've started using PI Soap when I have mosquito bite, or very itchy skin.
