Indigo Wild - Zum Bar Goat's Milk Soap Mint - 3 oz. Indigo Wild Zum Bar Goat's Milk Soap Mint is a super emollient, ultra-moisturizing natural handmade soap that strikes the perfect bar chords making you look, feel, and smell sharp. Credit goes to a ton of goat’s milk, vegetable oils, glycerin, and 100% pure essential oils. It’s better than stuff like tallow (beef fat) or PEG-6 methyl ether (a thickener) or tetrasodium EDTA (water softener) or lard. The bad stuff in un-natural soap is obvious, but why goat’s milk in Indigo Wild Zum Bar Goat's Milk Soap? It has a pH balance close to your skin, so it moisturizes deep down without stripping your skin of precious oils or making you feel dry and parched. Goat’s milk helps Indigo Wild's natural soap remove dead skin cells for smoother and healthier skin. And it includes vitamin A, which is necessary to repair damage. Talk about fresh breadth. Mint promotes relief of dry and damaged skin.  No Animal Tallow No Synthetic Colorings or Fragrances Mint ScentPure. Simple. Spearmint. Does for your body what chewing gum does for your mouth… makes you extra kissable. Starts out soft, but… wait for it… has a tingly finish. I’ll be washing you. You don’t have to let dirt sting. Just call up the clean police. Then, every shower you take, every bath you make — Zum Bars will be washing you. (Too stalkerish?) Can’t you see? You totally belong with this chi. All-Natural Goat's Milk SoapIf you're good in this life, maybe you'll come back as a Zum Bar in your next life. This natural soap has the good stuff of goat's milk, 100% pure essential oils, veggie oils, herbs, natural glycerin and natural mineral pigments. But why? Well, it's better than stuff like tallow (beef fat) or PEG-6 methyl ether (a thickener) or tetrasodium EDTA (water softener) or lard (yeah, no explanation necessary). The bad stuff in un-natural soap is obvious, but some wonderers wonder, "Why use goat's milk?" Well, there's an udder difference in the pH balance of goat's milk. Goat's milk makes their natural soap more akin to the skin than anything else - not too alkaline, not too acidic, but just right. So it doesn't dry skin or leave it feeling oily. Indigo Wild is hot on the cold-process saponification method. This maintains the integrity of the natural ingredients. As the vegetable oils are mixing they saponify and produces a super-moisturizing by-product called glycerin. Most soap companies remove the glycerin and sell it for extra profit. Not Indigo Wild. It's called glycerin not glycerout. That is one of the many secrets of how Indigo Wild makes the best natural soap. Indigo Wild loads up their natural soap with massive amounts of pure essential oils (natural plant extracts that give the Zum Bar its fresh scent) so they are highly aromatherapeutic. With over 31 different scents you're bound to find one (or 31) you just can't live without! You can use Zum Bar natural soap in your linen closets to keep your sheets and towels smelling fresh. Or store one in your car to give you a blast of aromatherapy every time you start your engine. There's no wrong way to use a Zum Bar! Here are a few ideas to get creative with our all-natural soap: Tuck a Zum Bar under your clean folded sheets in the linen closet to make them smell dreamy. When you're ready to put them on your bed you'll have Zum Bars dancing in your dreams. Throw a Zum Bar in your unmentionables drawer. Your undies will thank you. Hide a Zum Bar in your car and drive around town with a fresh, natural lingering scent. It may get you out of a speeding ticket...Just ask Boo Boo. Place a Zum Bar or two with your clean folded towels to keep them smelling clean and fresh. The best way to use Zum Bar natural goat's milk soap is with a friend! Why's Goat's Milk? Why? Because goats milk is very good and never ba-ha-ha- ha-had. Goat's milk, the main ingredient in Zum Bars, is naturally ultra-moisturizing, naturally balanced for the skin, and naturally homogenized. (So in case you happen to have a pet goat, you could truly drink the milk straight from the teat. But that would make you creepy and it might freak out your goat.) The truth is, goat's milk is probably the absolute best mix of "good for you" and "good for nature." Unlike commercial soap, goat's milk soap contains capric, caprylic and capronic acids, and the naturally occurring triglycerides. Otherwise known as good fats. These good fats in goat's milk result in a pH level so close to the pH level of your own skin, it helps to moisturize and keep your skin's oils in balance. Goat's milk has a pH level that's as near to skin as a pair of faux leather pants. A pH level that's well balanced for healthy human hair and skin, while commercial soap can dry out the skin to the point at which it feels taut and itchy. The oil glands are forced to counteract, overproducing oils in an attempt to rebalance the pH of the skin. The result can be oily skin, clogged pores, blackheads and yuck - pimples. Goat's milk offers an alphabet soup of vitamins. With its restorative vitamins, minerals and proteins, goat's milk soap simply maintains the balance. And no worries for people who have allergies to usual dairy products or sensitive skin. Naturally-occurring glycerin. Another benefit to using Zum Bar Goat's Milk Soap is the presence of naturally- occurring glycerin. Since they use a cold-processed method, they do not add extra heat which maintains the integrity of the goat's milk, food grade olive, coconut, palm and castor oils and 100% pure essential oils. In the process of saponification, reactions between all of these ingredients produce the soap and a natural byproduct, super-moisturizing glycerin. Many big soap companies remove the glycerin and sell it for extra profit, but not Indigo Wild! It's called glycerin, not glycerout. Glycerin is a natural moisturizer and a humectant, which helps to pull impurities from your skin's pores and leave it moisturized, healed and protected. Three letters: W-O-W. This could be more than you ever wanted to know about goat's milk, but Indigo Wild thinks the point is worth milking. How the Goat's Milk Soap is Made IngredientsLike a drummer must painstakingly select a kit that both sounds great and feels just right, Indigo Wild selects their ingredients to mix perfectly with each other. From the high notes of the pure essential oils, to the syrupy bass of vegetable oils, the product you get is the result of their countless hours of studio time. Process"Cold-processed soap" is the greatest way to allow natural ingredients to jam together without unnecessary meddling. Indigo Wild's technique requires no extra heating or chemical aids for saponification, but relies solely on the heat of the natural reaction between oils (no lard!) and lye. The process preserves the integrity of the ingredients. It keeps the natural occurring glycerin, a major moisturizer, while commercial soap companies sell it as a profitable by-product. For the encore, extra oils are added leaving you with a super moisturizing bar of soap! Pouring & SwirlingOnce the ingredients have had time to do their thing, the recording artists A.K.A. soap makers, step in to bring it all together. A dash of all-natural pigment, a thump of organic herbs, and some steady stirring, and voila! The record (ahem, soap) is almost there! With the concentration of a guitarist mid solo, they pour and swirl like they're high on life, making sure each batch of soap is perfect and oh-so- sexy.
