Silk & Milk

Silk & Milk

$10 USD Cold process Cured 4+ weeks Naples, FL

Undyed and undecorated: goat milk, shea and avocado, nothing else to look at.

Plant + dairy/honey This bar contains no lard or tallow, but it does contain an animal-derived ingredient - goat milk and/or honey - so it is not vegan.

The plainest bar in the range, and deliberately so. Liquid goat milk goes into the oils and powdered goat milk on top of that, over an olive, shea and avocado base. No colour, no swirl, no topping. The only thing added for looks is nothing at all. Scented with oatmeal milk and honey and a little cinnamon sugar.

Made to order

None on the shelf right now, so this one is made and cured for your order.

The batch starts once your payment arrives, and ships about four weeks later.

Every bar cures for four weeks, so batches are small and counted.

The make-up

Notes on the bar

Keep it on a draining dish. A cold-process bar left sitting in water softens and will not last the way it should.

Scent

Oatmeal, milk and honey, with cinnamon sugar

The same warm bakery scent as Golden Oat, with a little cinnamon sugar behind it. Carried by a cosmetic fragrance oil, not an essential oil.

Texture

Plain surface, dense lather

Nothing was added for texture, so the bar is smooth all the way through. A little kaolin clay gives it slip, and stearic acid makes it firm. The lather is creamy and slow rather than airy.

The base

Goat milk twice over

Liquid goat milk goes into the oils and powdered goat milk goes in on top of that, over a base of olive, coconut, shea and avocado. That is what makes it the softest bar in the range, and also what keeps it off the vegan list.

Origin

Cured in Naples, Florida

Cold process, small batch, cured a minimum of four weeks before it leaves the workshop.

How this batch is made

Process

Cold process. No colourant, no swirl and nothing on top: the cream tone is the goat milk itself. This is the one bar in the range where the point is that there is nothing to look at.
