Limited Edition Products
From time to time when we have higher milk production periods, our range expands to include shampoo bars and goat milk lotion. Like the soaps, these products are handmade in small batches using nourishing oils, butters, and, of course, fresh goat milk.
Our Story…
It started with a Macy and Spice:
Macy and Spice, the original girls joined our family as pets. Not long after, we took on Goaty, a friend’s goat… then thanks to the arrival of a male goat, we soon had milking does.
With the amazing amount of milk the girls started producing we made the decision to start creating handmade soaps using the goodness of fresh goat milk from our own happy herd.
What started as caring for a few much-loved goats quickly became a passion for creating beautiful products, and after lots of practice, Gleeful Goats was born.
Every soap is thoughtfully handcrafted in small batches, allowing us to focus on quality, freshness and ingredients you can trust.
We believe what we put on our skin should be simple, nourishing and made with care and now we have a reputation for producing goats milk soaps that people genuinely enjoy using every day.
Why we love Goat Milk Soap
-
Goat milk soap is naturally high in saturated and unsaturated fat, the lather is creamy, gentle and nourishing. It leaves the skin smooth, firm and pliable, because it does not strip the skin of its natural oils.
-
Every bar is carefully formulated with a blend of our goat milk, skin-loving clays and carefully selected fragrance blends. Each ingredient is chosen for the role it plays in creating a beautiful soap that's a pleasure to use every day.
-
A quality bar of soap should feel good on the skin. Our goat milk soap produces a dense, creamy lather that makes your daily routine feel just that little bit more indulgent.
-
We make our soaps in small batches so we can focus on quality and craftsmanship. From pouring each mould to the final cure, every bar receives the care and attention it deserves.
