Featured Ingredient: Babassu Oil

We use babassu oil in our goat milk soaps. It's pronounced Bah-bah-soo.  Babassu oil is derived from the seeds of the babassu tree. When the nut from the tree ripens and falls to the ground the seed kernels are gathering and the oil is expelled. Babassu has a melt point close to the human body temperature. It's solid at room temperature and resembles body butter. It moisturizes without leaving an oily feel on your skin. Babassu is good for dry or oily complexion.
We love it in our soaps! It helps us create a hard bar of soap that lasts longer and it's non-clogging for your pores!

Sea the Difference With Mud From The Dead Sea

We're not the first ones to use mud from the Dead Sea in beauty products. No, the Egyptians knew about its benefits long before us. The mud and water from the Dead Sea has been known for centuries for its healing properties.
It has a unique location as it's the lowest place on earth and has about 300 sunny days a year. The Dead Sea has the highest concentration of minerals on earth. People from around the world travel to the Dead Sea to experience the best natural spa on earth.
The mud is unique in the fact that it contains many essential minerals twelve of which are found in the Dead Sea only.
The mud we use in our soap is 100% pure. No preservative and no fillers. Our Mineral Mud Goat Milk Soap contains not only pure goats milk from our goats but also mud from the Dead Sea. It removes impurities from your skin by deep cleansing. It penetrates pores to absorb dirt and makeup residue.
It's normal for you skin to to feel tight after using this one and you may want to moisturize after using our Mineral Mud Goat Milk Soap.

We have a friend that lives in Israel. He said the water is so salty it's almost syrupy. This next image is Tristam's Grackle, which is found only at the Dead Sea.

Don't Crack Up!

Don't crack up! It's suppose to look that way. Have you ever used bentonite clay?

It makes a great face mask. Benonite clay draws excess oil and debris from your pores. It’s also great for removing black heads. We use cosmetic grade clay, sourced from reliable clay farms in Wyoming. They are pure and free of pollutants and certified lead free. Bentonite clay is a good choice for oily skin. I wouldn't recommend it for dry or sensitive skin though.

It's so easy! You can make your own face mask at home. I use one tablespoon of clay to about six tablespoons of water or milk. I add one spoonful at time mixing until I get a nice mud paste. When you apply a face mask you want to stay away from your eyes. Spread on your forehead, above your eyebrows, on your nose, cheeks & chin. I would keep it off your lips too. It's normal for your skin to feel tight. If it's burning take caution and remove it immediately. 

It’s a great natural ingredient for soap when you want to add that extra slip and lather to shaving soaps. We use it in our Bay & Clay Goat Milk Soap. When we started this soap we wanted to make a great bar soap for men but it’s not just for men. Women can use it too..
