Today was a big soaping day. I poured 86 oz of Brownsugar Honeymoo while my bread was baking, then made 130 oz slab of a new soap called...are you ready for this? ...Monkeyfarts. It has a great fragrance of bananas and pineapple and tropical fruits. I just can't improve on the name. I did some little  'imbeds' in the slab for fun so we will see how that turns out tomorrow when I cut.

Lots of soap is curing but I do have plenty cured out and ready.

IT"S TIME!!!
The spring and summer soaps  are ready to come off the racks and into your bath.

Real soap has so much to offer. It's an inexpensive luxury that will truly benefit your skin.
All soap, homemade or commercial, is made by combining lye with fats and/or oils, and as a result of that combination it contains natural glycerin which is a humectant, drawing moisture from the air. It is removed from commercial soaps to be used in more expensive beauty products, leaving the product  more of a detergent, which cleanses, but also strips the natural oil from skin and hair.

Quality Artisan soap will give you a much different result.
Customers have reported that using RanchRustics soaps has solved their 'flaky skin' problems.
IT's a great way to get clean, while enjoying both the smooth, creamy, skin-pampering lather,  and enjoying the benefits of a variety of Essential and Fragrance Oils. 
For more sensitive skin or those who prefer no fragrance, we also have unscented soaps.

Each type of oil brings a different property to the soap. 
Ranch Rustics has balanced formulas that bring
skin conditioning and hydration, creamy lather, bubbles and cleansing.

Some of the oils used in our soaps are:
Apricot Kernel Oil-great for sundamaged or mature skin, helps maintain elasticity
Castor Oil- highly emollient and great suds
Cocoa Butter- skin conditioning, makes for a hard soap
Coconut Oil- Natural anti bacterial, anti fungal, very cleansing, with lots of suds
Olive Oil-High in both Vit E and Oleic acid it is very nourishing to skin. Castille soap is 100% Olive oil
Tallow or Lard-makes a gentle, long lasting bar
Vegetable shortening (ie:Crisco) good conditioning. [Was actually designed to be used in soaping and candlemaking, was never intended for food! That's a little FYI for you.]

Other additives bring even more benefits to the soaps, such as 
Honey- a humectant, drawing moisture from the air to keep your skin hydrated
Oatmeal-anti inflammatory, gentle exfoliator, helps to soothe dry, itchy skin, great for acne and eczema
Calendula-anti inflammatory, promotes tissue regeneration, used in many skin products
Nettle-astringent, good for acne, dandruff, and medicinal uses
Beer-great for coating hair and tightening hair shaft, adds shine, great for dry or thin hair



Now that you know a little bit about what we can do with soap, here is what I currently have available.


Butternilk Almond HoneyMoo (Goatmilk)

A luscious, creamy, skin pampering soap
with added
Goatmilk, and Apricot Kernel Oil
Natural color, Almond fragrance

Goatmilk Almond Honeymoo



It seems that Ranch Rustics has been wildly successful, because of YOU! I want to let you all know how much I appreciate both your orders and your feedback!
I have been diligently making more soap, to keep stocked up. This is our busy time of year as we not only have lots of baby goats and baby lambs, but we also are raising a flock of meatie chicks, the egg layers hatched out a couple more babies on their own, and the garden is taking up much of my time. 



Nevertheless, I go out every morning and evening to milk the goats so I can make the Goatmilk Soaps, as well as enjoy fresh creamy yogurt, milk and cheeses.
My ‘little people’ will be coming for their annual visit soon. I am truly looking forward to it. They will be able to help out with the milking and feeding of the babies. I don't see nearly enough of them, and they are very beautiful little people.



It’s going to be a great month!
