Brown Cow Soap Begins
My husband has battled eczema his whole life and I have very sensitive skin. When our son was about 5 years old we found out he was allergic to pretty much everything. I began to learn more about synthetic items in our every day life to try and help hime. In August of 2016 I got a Jersey milk cow more as a hobby and because I like to bake. I quickly learned that Jersey cows give a LOT of milk! So I decided to try my hand at making soap. I figured if you could make soap from goats milk there was no reason I could not make soap from cow’s milk. It’s composition is very similar other than it has more cream. I wanted a very skin friendly and moisturizing soap. Since my husband is a farmer and rancher he get’s super dirty! So I really needed him to be clean, but did not want his skin to be dried out. With my son having asthma I wanted soap that smelled nice but would not cause him breathing problems. I also wanted the soap to be naturally colored, no FDA colors and I also wanted any commercial fragrance to be pthalate free for myself and my daughter as I did not want any endocrine disruptors. I also wanted to use essential oils..... let’s be honest...I need this soap to do a lot of different things for a lot of different reasons!
I believe I have some wonderful milk soap recipes and I hope you will agree! I have soaps for every skin type, scented, essential oil and unscented! Let me know if you have any questions about any of my products.
