What is Goat Milk Soap?

What is Goat Milk Soap?

Buyer Beware

Not all soaps are equal. Even if the soap contains goat's milk, it can be as low as 5% or even ZERO.  This is a shocking case of someone passing off a handwash as goats milk soap. 

Choice asked Active Premium Beverages, the company behind Active Organic Goat's Milk Hand Soap, why the product is labelled Goat's Milk Hand Soap when it doesn't list goat's milk in the ingredients, and whether they were aware this creates a misleading impression.

Lots of soapmakers selling goatsmilk soaps are not even soapmakers! Make sure you ask for the ingredients if you are buying goatsmilk soaps. 

People are buying this, this, this or this and selling soaps as handmade. 

My Pure Smudge Goats Milk Soap  ingredients are: fresh goats milk, olive oil, coconut oil, which are saponified with Lye.  This produces an official formulation list of.

Fresh Goatsmilk, Sodium Olivate, Sodium Cocoate, Glycerin. 

Compare that to what you will often get why you buy "goat soap" which may look pretty and white, but is not a natural oil based soap.
