FAQ - If my mouth is washed out with soap, what would be the best tasting?
Don asks, “If my wife washes my mouth out with soap, what would be the best tasting?”
Well, Don, using the best tasting soap would kind of defeat the purpose here wouldn’t it? Soap is the fatty acid salts of saponified oils. While soap is used for cleaning, it is NOT recommended to be used on mucous membranes such as nostrils, eyes, mouth, anus or vagina. It is generally accepted as safe for external use only. (Note to Don’s wife. In the event that you must use one of our soaps for this purpose and Don is not allergic to any of the ingredients, we suggest trying the unscented Basic Autumn soap.)

FAQ - Why did Mossy start making soap?
Why did Mossy begin making soap?
I began making soap because we had goat milk and it was time for a new project with lots of little projects inside it.
Our little farm has been through a few changes since it's inception. Part of the reason so much has changed is because I like ideas. I like starting new projects. I don't really care if they ever get finished. I just like getting them started. What does that have to do with making soap? You see, it's just one more project that got started. Only this one was different.
At first, it was just an off shoot of having extra goat milk around. After the best looking farm employees started producing milk in earnest, I began looking at multiple ways to use it. Unfortunately, the soap doesn't use a lot so I still have some extra now and again. (Shameless plug if you are interested in raw goat milk.) At any rate, the soap making had been brewing in my mind for awhile. I started watching you tube videos of the cold process soap method. I bought a few books and pamphlets about making your own soap. I asked a friend if I could watch her make soap one day. I researched molds and ingredients. I created some DIY molds from PVC. Finally, I ordered ingredients and made my first batch without goat milk. It was a fail. Hard as nails and lye heavy. Sigh.
Many times, a failed project attempt means abandoning the project for an extended time or ever. Yet, this time it was only a slight distraction. There was a desire to go ahead and try the goat milk soap recipes. The challenge of creating my own recipes helped to propel me along. I attempted to be very conservative in my initial attempts. I wanted to do some natural soaps - those without fragrances and extra chemicals. I also found that commercial scents were a big hit.
Basically, every single batch is a new project. And, I love starting new projects!

FAQ - What makes Mossy's soap different?
What makes our soap different from all the other goat milk soaps available?
Here at Mossy's Milk Soapery, we use milk from our own Nigerian Dairy goats in each batch of soap. Our bars are round, oval, or octagonal and slightly smaller in size that most artisan soaps. Every batch is hand crafted and unique.
Using milk produced directly on our homestead means that we are intimately involved and know the source. We strive to raise healthy, pasture based goats. Our girls average 5.7% butterfat in their milk. That's some good stuff, y'all.
Our bars are round, oval, or octagonal instead of the more common square or rectangular bars. Their slightly smaller size means you get to change out the scent and color more often. Plus they travel really great.
Each batch is a hand crafted artisan product made right in Oklahoma. Using round and oval molds requires a bit of creativity to come up with various designs. Some of the standard soap making techniques work well while others do not lend themselves to the round shapes. Each batch is a small creative project!
The soaps are based on four main recipes that use a different combination of oils and butters. Occasionally, a unique recipe is developed for a specialty soap.
