This handmade local lard & goat milk bar has crushed mint leaves in the soap, along with hand-rendered lard from pastured, non-GMO-fed pigs raised right here in either Altamont or Tracy City, rendered by me here at SFH. The herbal scent of Eucalyptus essential oil paired with the spicy fragrance of Peppermint essential oil is a classic, and one of my most popular soap scents. Made with my own hand-milked goat milk, local lard from a friend's sustainable small farm that I render myself, and a little coconut oil and of course lye - that's it! (Check out my FAQ section at the bottom of the page for why there is lye in soap). I love this soap, in fact I used to make this as a regular, non-goat milk soap, but then made a batch for a custom order and loved it so much I decided to convert my lard soaps to goat milk-lard soaps. It is really moisturizing, cleans well with no residue, and has a great lather! I also add a little of my homegrown mint to this soap for a bit of exfoliation. This soap is available in a variety of options - a plain square bar or 3 different molded designs of a dragonfly. The dragonfly is available in either the unadorned, mint-flecked version or with mica-based color accents of green dragonfly and brown cattail, depending on the design (see photos and other listings for the different designs). The oval bar is approximately 5 oz, the rectangle is approximately 4 oz, and the round bar is approximately 3.5 oz. I hand-make all my soap in small batches, 6 to 36 bars at a time. If you have used a good handmade soap before, you know that it is a completely different creature than commercial soap, which can be so drying! When soap is made by hand, the chemical reaction of oils with a lye solution forms the substances soap and glycerin. A typical bar of handmade soap is roughly 1/3 glycerin! This is a humectant, meaning it pulls water from the air - when on your skin, it literally moisturizes your skin by attracting water to it. In commercial soaps, the glycerin is distilled and removed, and later sold back to you in a lotion, but in the "real thing", it is all one package. I used to use lotions and moisturizers a lot, especially in the winter, but I virtually never use them anymore, other than some of my tallow body balm on my hands occasionally, and my lip balm or lip blush all year-round!

A unique, striking blend of herbal lavender and earthy patchouli essential oils, with a touch of the unmistakable licorice-scent of anise oil - this is one of my favorites, and a frequent comment upon smelling this is “Oooh, I never liked patchouli before, but this!

I generally don't use plastic if I can help it, but this cute, fat little pig is such a tall bar of soap, that it doesn't fit in my paper boxes, so I re-purpose the plastic wrappers my tallow balm tins come in, to wrap these soaps since they just happen to be exactly the right size.
