Dog and You Goat Milk Soap

Dog and You Goat Milk Soap brings people and dogs together with one versatile 3.5-ounce bar. This longtime favorite now features premium botanical oils, rich murumuru butter, local honey, aloe vera, and our goat milk.

We make each bar in small batches with milk from our organically fed goats. Moreover, local farm lard creates a hard bar with stable, creamy lather. Organic babassu oil adds plentiful bubbles, while olive and castor oils enhance the lather.

Additionally, jojoba, Sacha Inchi, Brazil nut, and neem oils enrich the formula. Murumuru butter adds creamy character, while aloe vera contributes silky glide. Meanwhile, local honey helps create abundant, luxurious bubbles.

The botanical aroma combines cedarwood, frankincense, lavender, copaiba, leleshwa, marjoram, and chamomile. Therefore, the fragrance feels woody, herbal, earthy, and softly floral.

We superfat every bar at 10.5%. As a result, additional oils and fats remain beyond those required for saponification. Finally, breathable biodegradable film helps protect the bar while allowing ventilation.

Use it for bathing, hair washing, or shaving. Bring home this longtime favorite and enjoy its creamy goat milk lather.

Superfatted 10.5%.

Lard, Goat Milk and Babassu Oil

• Local Farmed Lard — Traditional soapmakers have relied on rendered animal fats for generations. Moreover, lard supplies oleic, palmitic, and stearic fatty acids. Consequently, it creates a hard, durable bar with stable, creamy lather.
• Fresh Goat Milk — Goat milk contributes natural fats, proteins, lactose, vitamins, and minerals. Additionally, milk sugars support lather development, while milk fats contribute creamy character. Therefore, it plays an important role in this rich formula.
• Organic Babassu Oil — Brazilian communities have traditionally used the babassu palm for many household and personal-care purposes. Furthermore, babassu oil contains abundant lauric and myristic acids. As a result, it creates bubbly lather, cleansing power, and bar hardness.

Olive, Castor and Jojoba Oils

• Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil — Olive oil has centuries of traditional use in Mediterranean soapmaking. Moreover, its oleic-rich profile contributes mild, conditioning characteristics and smooth lather. Therefore, it balances the more cleansing oils within the formula.
• Sodium Hydroxide (Lye) — True soap requires sodium hydroxide for saponification. During this reaction, lye combines with fats and oils to create soap. Additionally, the process naturally produces glycerin.  There is no lye left in the finished soap.
• Organic Castor Oil — Castor oil contains an unusually high concentration of ricinoleic acid. Consequently, soapmakers value it for supporting stable, creamy lather. Furthermore, castor oil can enhance the dense texture and slip desirable in shaving lather.
• Organic Jojoba Oil — Jojoba is technically a liquid wax rather than a conventional triglyceride oil. Traditionally, Indigenous peoples of the Sonoran Desert used jojoba for skin and hair care. Moreover, its wax esters contribute a silky, refined character to the formula.

Honey, Sacha Inchi and Murumuru Butter

• Local Honey — Honey has appeared in traditional bathing and cosmetic preparations for centuries. Moreover, its natural sugars can increase soap lather and encourage plentiful bubbles. Consequently, it complements the natural sugars already present in goat milk.
• Organic Sacha Inchi Oil — This South American botanical oil contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic and linoleic acids. Additionally, it contains oleic acid. Therefore, it contributes a lightweight, conditioning quality to the formula.
• Murumuru Butter — This Amazonian seed butter contains substantial lauric and myristic acids. Consequently, it can support bar hardness and bubbly lather. Moreover, its distinctive fatty-acid profile complements olive, castor, and Sacha Inchi oils.

Aloe, Brazil Nut and Neem

• Organic Aloe Vera Extract — Aloe has a long history in traditional botanical preparations. Furthermore, aloe contains naturally occurring polysaccharides, amino acids, minerals, and other plant compounds. In this formula, it complements the creamy lather and adds silky character.
• Brazil Nut Oil — Derived from Amazonian Brazil nuts, this botanical oil naturally contains oleic and linoleic acids. Additionally, Brazil nuts are known for selenium, although the amount retained in cosmetic oil can vary. The oil contributes a rich, conditioning character to soap.
• Organic Neem Oil — Neem has a long history in traditional South Asian personal-care practices. Moreover, neem oil contains oleic, linoleic, palmitic, and stearic fatty acids. Its distinctive botanical character adds complexity to this multi-oil formula.

Essential Oils in Dog and You Goat Milk Soap

Woody and Resinous Aromatics

• Cedarwood Essential Oil — Cedarwood contributes a dry, warm, woody fragrance. Traditionally, cedarwood has appeared in perfumery and aromatic preparations. Moreover, its grounding aroma provides a strong foundation for the herbal ingredients.
• Frankincense Essential Oil — Frankincense contributes resinous, woody character with subtle citrus nuances. For thousands of years, frankincense resin has appeared in incense, perfumery, and ceremonial traditions. Consequently, it adds depth to the fragrance.
• Copaiba Oil — Copaiba comes from the resinous oleoresin of South American Copaifera trees. Traditionally, Amazonian communities have valued copaiba in botanical preparations. Additionally, its mild woody and resinous aroma blends smoothly with cedarwood and frankincense.

Lavender, Leleshwa and Marjoram

• Organic Lavender Essential Oil — Lavender adds familiar floral and herbaceous notes. Historically, people have used lavender in bathing, perfumery, and aromatic preparations. Moreover, its fresh character balances the deeper woods and resins.
• Leleshwa Oil (African Wild Rosemary) — Leleshwa contributes a crisp, aromatic, herbaceous character. Traditionally associated with East African botanical practices, its distinctive fragrance adds freshness. Therefore, it provides an interesting contrast to cedarwood and copaiba.
• Sweet Marjoram Essential Oil — Sweet marjoram provides warm, herbaceous notes with gentle sweetness. Moreover, the herb has a long history in Mediterranean aromatic traditions. Its fragrance helps connect the fresh herbal notes with the warmer base aromas.

Chamomile and Calendula

• German Chamomile Essential Oil — German chamomile offers a strong herbaceous aroma with sweet, warm undertones. Furthermore, chamomile has centuries of traditional use in European herbal preparations. Its complex fragrance adds another botanical dimension.
• Roman Chamomile Essential Oil — Roman chamomile provides softer herbaceous notes with a distinctive apple-like character. Traditionally, it has appeared in aromatic and bathing preparations. Consequently, it creates a gentle finish alongside lavender and marjoram.
• Calendula Oil — Calendula has a long history in European herbal and cosmetic preparations. Moreover, calendula-infused oils traditionally appear in skin-care products. In this formula, calendula complements aloe, neem, and the other botanical ingredients.

Goat Milk Benefits in Dog and You Goat Milk Soap

Fresh goat milk helps create the creamy lather that defines this bar. Moreover, it naturally contains milk fat, proteins, lactose, vitamins, and minerals.

Goat milk fat includes capric, caprylic, lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic, and oleic fatty acids. However, their exact proportions naturally vary. Together, these fats contribute to the overall fatty-acid profile of the soap.

Additionally, goat milk naturally provides vitamin A and several B vitamins, including riboflavin. It also contains minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and zinc.

Meanwhile, lactose and other natural milk components contribute to lather characteristics. Therefore, goat milk works alongside honey, lard, babassu, murumuru, and botanical oils to create a rich cleansing experience.
