Beautiful Goat Milk Soap comes from detailed molds!
Friday, July 24th, 2009I spent the majority of this afternoon washing many of the soap molds that I use in the production of our goat milk soap.

Superfatted Goat Milk Soap – Great for your Skin!
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009In the previous blog post, I mentioned how Garland Goat Soap is an especially moisturizing soap because it is a “superfatted soap.” Just what is a superfatted soap and how does “superfatting” affect soap?

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009After reading the last post (Olive oil…Not Just for Cooking!), you might wonder why I just don’t use one hundred percent olive oil in my goat milk soaps. Well, you’d miss out on the incredible qualities other oils add to the soap!
Coconut oil is also an essential component of Garland Goat Soap. Coconut oil is [...]
Olive Oil…Not Just for Cooking!
Monday, May 18th, 2009There are all sorts of oils available for soapmakers to use. Some are commonplace, some exotic. Olive oil is one of the key oils I use in Garland Goat Soap.

How do OILS affect your soap?!
Friday, May 15th, 2009I got a shipment of soapmaking supplies in today, including olive oil, coconut oil, and palm oil, some of the major ingredients I use in my soap.
