There is a reason commercial soaps are so cheap!!!

There is a reason it is so cheap!

Nutrients are retained because our soap is made in small, controllable batches through cold processing. Our soap is rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals.

Commercial soaps, commonly called beauty/deodorant/moisturizing bars, dry out skin and leave unhealthy chemical residues. There is a reason it is so cheap! Commercial soap contains petroleum products (irritating to people with sensitive skin), esters (known carcinogenics), alcohols (which dry your skin), low grade oils, waxes, fillers, detergents and preservatives. Your skin absorbs those chemicals just like when people use the medicated transdermal patches. Your body sees those chemicals as toxins and then tries to rid itself of them. If what comes in contact with your skin is absorbed into your body, don't you think you should be careful about what you put on it?

Commercial soaps also have the natural occurring glycerin stripped out of them to resell to you in the form of beauty bars and lotions. Our soaps have all of their natural occurring glycerin as well as added glycerin and aloe for extra moisturizing benefits.

Milk has long been known for its moisturizing properties and is an ancient beauty treatment. Cleopatra was known for her beautiful skin resulting from her famous milk baths.

Milk also has alpha-hydroxy acids which break down the glue holding dead skin cells together. Alpha-hydroxy acid is well known for softening skin and leaving it rejuvenated for a younger appearance.

Goat's Milk Soap has a PH level similar to our skin, which helps protect the skin from invading bacteria and chemicals we come in contact with every day.

People who suffer from skin allergies, winter itchies, eczema, and dry skin are frequent users of goat's milk soap. While we can't tell you it will heal these conditions, we can tell you it will not further excerbate them.

We age our soaps to make them milder and longer lasting. To properly care for your bars of Teter Farm’s Goat's Milk Soap, keep them in a soap dish that drains water away preventing them from sitting in a pool of water.
