Welcome to the Wild Mountain Thyme Farm, home to Pure Hart Soap. I have been making soap for over 10 years now. I started making soap for 2 reasons, first because I read somewhere that I could and second because my oldest daughter had very dry skin as a baby.
While trying to find something to use for her I began to discover that commercial soaps are actually detergents. Soaps naturally have glycerin in them, commercial soaps often remove it and then add it back as a 'great added ingredient'. For anyone who hasn't tried handcrafted soap, they are a wonderful treat for you and your skins health. The method I use is called Cold Process, I choose the oils carefully for the different properties they bring to the soap, lather, hardness but most importantly moisturizing abilities. I also use botanicals, phalate free fragrance oils and essential oils.
My biggest ingredient change has been the addition of fresh goats milk in my soaps. I now have my own dairy goats who donate their milk every morning to the soap cause. As previous batches of soap are reduced they are being replaced with the goats milk bars. So why is goat milk important? Goat milk contains emollients, vitamins and most importantly capric-capryllic triglyceride, reported to be highly effective as a moisturizer. People with sensitive skin benefit from handmade soaps and their lack of skin drying chemicals.
I also make lotions, salves, body butters, bath salts and other body treats. I am always adding new products and gladly accept suggestions from my customers. My soap line started with oatmeal and has continued to grow, mostly at requests of my customers and the scents that they enjoy. If you don't see something specific, please ask.
