Our Ingredients
Most consumers believe that fragrance and suds are the main determinants of a good and effective soap.
The FDA (the US Food and Drug Administration) states that the majority of soaps consumed in the US should be classified as detergents and that they derive their fragrance and suds/foam from synthetic chemicals “Most body cleansers, both liquid and solid, are actually synthetic detergent products”.*
In contrast, our True Soaps are comprised of only goat milk, olive oil, and one of the natural oils listed below. We use only minimal, all-natural ingredients and nothing else.
