Nothing in the world is as delicate and sensitive as baby’s skin. Its innocence and purity is the perfect reflection of how precious everything is about a child. Most pregnant mothers spend those preparatory sacred nine months taking acute care of how they eat, sleep, exercise and what they put on their bodies, because they know that how they are treating themselves is directly affecting the little life that is growing inside of them. And when their amazing gift finally arrives, this careful attention gets carried over to everything the baby touches, sleeps on and drinks from.
When it comes to baby’s bath time, making sure that you’re using the best products that protect your child’s skin, is a necessity. These days, with the baby product aisle overflowing with soaps, shampoos and all sorts of sweet-smelling lotions for your baby’s skin, it’s hard to decide on the perfect soap. But one thing is for sure: Finding a safe baby soap that contains natural ingredients that won’t harm the pureness of baby’s skin and will preserve the skin’s natural oils is a necessity.
One such product is Meadow Stone Farm’s Goat Milk Soap Baby Animals. These handcrafted chums contain just five simple ingredients and they are just as adorably pudgy as any little infant. This natural baby soap does its magic by gently cleansing baby’s skin while leaving it feeling silky smooth. Moreover, they are fragrance-free so even children with allergy-prone skin can reap the benefits from this safe baby soap.
Organic raw goat’s milk, Vitamin A oil, honey, aloe and saponified vegetable oils are the unique but simple ingredients that are enrobed in each chunky bar of soap. Raw honey is slowly stirred in with unprocessed milk resulting in a batch of creamy soap that is delicate enough for babies’ skin. Shaped like playful animals, they come in four shapes: dog, frog, lion and fish. You get one of each individually-wrapped figurine in your set of four.
What makes the ingredients so exceptional is that both the honey and raw goat’s milk come directly from Meadow Stone Farm. Not only can you take comfort in knowing that you are using a product that is reducing the carbon print on our earth but that you are also supporting a small family-owned organic farm that is dedicated to land sustainability and organic standards.
Milk has long been used as emollient to soothe skin. In fact, Cleopatra was known for indulging in milk baths in order to keep her skin soft and supple. Raw milk is being an increasingly popular choice among milk consumers who are drawn to its rich quantities of enzymes, amino acids, vitamins that are believed to make raw milk less susceptible to bacterial contamination and more nutrient-dense than pasteurized milk.
Raw goat milk is particularly difficult to work with and it’s a time consuming process. But the farmers on Meadow Stone Farm don’t mind. For them, making these raw goat milk soap animals requires patience and love: two essential ingredients in caring for a young baby.
What is even better is that while most soaps lose their scent and moisture as you use them, Meadow Stone Farm’s Goat Milk Soap Baby Animals become better with age. And don’t expect to see any massive pieces of manufacturing equipment on Meadow Stone Farm. All of their products, including the goat milk’s baby soap are made in small batches by hand.
You might just be tempted to jump into your baby’s tub time and get lathered up too in these delicious natural baby soap bars.
