Goat Milk Olive Oil Soap Made for Baby Soft Skin

Nurture products are our most gentle soaps because they contain only one oil: olive.

Known for centuries as a healing oil, olive oil is rich with antioxidants and vitamin E. Both are nutritional powerhouses that protect against age-accelerating free radicals.

Our most gentle soap, Nurture products are designed for newborn or elder care skin care.

Nurture soaps contain borax for it's antifungal properties and glycerin because it chemically attracts hydrating properties in the olive oil leaving you with softer skin.

The gentleness of olives combined with the richness of goat milk vitamins, minerals, and proteins, leaves you with a pH balanced, creamy soap that moisturizes and enriches sensitive, dry baby smooth skin.

I personally make all my soaps in small batches so I can monitor the chemistry, coloring, and design closely. I'm an artist at heart, so each batch will more than likely look a bit different from next. So, please look for varying colors or swirls from batch to batch. However, please rest assured that our formulas remain the same.

 
 

New Guys are in Town

Sleeping Dog Ranch Nubians has several handsome guys growing into their upcoming jobs. Ah, that would be breeding with the ladies. Interesting how so many fellows were born for this work. However, our breeding program is highly competitive and only a select few will be chosen.

These two little guys are in the running and they have no idea how lucky they are. Boys are selected based on their mama’s udder, their confirmation, coloring, and disposition.

The cream colored guy, Swift, is my main selection from the 2009 babies. That is, if he continues developing well.

The brown buck, Wilson, is another strong contender.

Swift is a little skittish and hard to catch so we’re all holding him as often as possible. I don’t chase goats so if he wants to be a breeder, he’ll have to settle down. Wilson, on the other hand, is easy to catch, is a good smoocher, and a true lover.

Our main man, Bucky, is getting older and will be retiring soon. He’s earned his retirement. Ah … that is IF he will retire. We’ll see.

But these little guys must make it through the winter. We lost two promising bucks last January. Even though we’ll be applying every lesson learned to keep the guys alive and developmentally on track; in the end, they have to be strong enough to make it -- on their own.

Their ability to survive is part of the selection process. Tuffffff, I know, but a requirement. As a breeder, I want these little guys to survive and be strong but I can only do so much. It's that strength that we're building into our herd.

Also, we have three more boys in the running but right now they're just a little too young to know for sure. We'll be watching them, too.

I’ll be happy to let you know how these guys develop over the next several months.

Stay tuned,
Pat Allen
 
 

How Goat Milk Soap Soothes Your Skin

Rich in emollients goat milk soap is a natural way of retaining your skin's suppleness. With a higher number of milk fats being captured at the molecular level during the saponification (making soap) process, goat milk produces an oil-rich soap.

Increasing the oil-richness even more, we use goat milk noted for having a higher fat content than other goat breeds. Our Nubian goat milk contains 5 percent fat in addition to Vitamin A, Provitamin B5, Folic Acid (B9), C, D, E, and K - natural ingredients that nourish, condition, and moisturize your skin. Below describes the benefit of each vitamin:
  • Vitamin A improves collagen density, skin elasticity, tone, texture, lines and wrinkles, smoothes skin surface;
  • Provitamin B5 attracts moisture to hair and skin, and has regenerating and softening effects;
  • Vitamin C protects from oxidant damages, skin-lightening, anti-inflammatory effects, improves skin elasticity;
  • Vitamin D sustains healthy skin tissue;
  • Vitamin E protects from oxidant damages, is moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and offers healing & anti-aging effects;
  • Vitamin K is known for its blood coagulating properties; and
  • Folic acid (B9) is essential in healthy skin cell development, growth, and maintenance of new cells.
Every product we make at GraNann Spa Essentials (a division of Gran' Nanny's Goat Milk Soaps) begins with goat milk because we strongly believe in its benefits.
For Delicate, Baby Soft, or Elder Skin we recommend our Nurture Goat Milk Soaps. With Nurture Goat Milk soaps, we've taken the holistic approach to skin care because I make it with only one oil: OLIVE OIL, known for centuries as a healing oil.
 
Unscented, Nurture Goat Milk  Soaps are made with premium food-quality ingredients:
