What's In Our Soaps

Black Fields Farm uses a blend of oils and butters to create a bar of soap that cleanses and helps moisturize the skin. Our bar and luffa soaps are made with beef tallow, coconut oil, castor oil, olive oil, cocoa butter, and shea butter, while our slat bars are 100% plant-derived oils of coconut, castor, olive, shea butter, and cocoa butter. 

The milk used in or soaps comes from our own heard of Nubian and Alpine dairy goats that are milked twice daily. The milk is filtered and then frozen before being made into soap.

All the fragrances in our soaps are 100% pure essential oils and never synthetic fragrances 

The colors of our soap are due to plant-derived pigments, clays, or charcoal. 

Citric acid (responsible for giving lemons their sour taste) has many uses in food production, but in soap, it helps reduce soap scum that is usually associated with bar soap by attaching metal ions and allowing it to get washed down the drain instead of sticking to your shower or tub. 

All true soaps are made through a combination of fats and a strong base such as sodium hydroxide (Lye) to form; in our case, sodium salts of fatty acids, aka soap. Another byproduct, sometimes removed in commercial soaps due to its value in other products, is glycerin, which remains in our soaps to offer skin-nourishing goodness.
