Goat Milk Soap

Dancing Goat is not your typical autumn soap of pumpkin spice or mulled wine. Rather, it imagines camping in a desert, hiking across dormant volcanoes, wandering ancient medinas, and brewing coffee in hot sand. It is a soap for the flâneur, the wanderer, the explorer—and its namesake, Kaldi, the legendary Ethiopian goatherd whose own adventure began when he witnessed his goats dancing ecstatically after eating the berries of the coffee tree.

In honour of Kaldi's discovery, ground coffee beans, raw cacao and Moroccan lava clay meet cardamom seed, patchouli leaf and bitter orange peel for a soft, exfoliating lather and a scent reminiscent of spiced earth and faraway places.

Lost Lands, named for the legend of Cantre'r Gwaelod, the lost kingdom beneath Cardigan Bay, draws upon the softer, inward energy associated with Winter. In Taoist philosophy, Winter is connected to the element of water and the colour black, together representing restoration, resilience and the strength that gathers beneath the surface before renewal.

As a homage, mineral-rich bladderwrack seaweed and clarifying charcoal meet the cool, aromatic scent of lavender, cypress and eucalyptus in the creamy, lotion-like lather from the goat milk and honey base.

Wild Love nods to the Greek myth of Ida, who stained wild raspberries red when she pricked her finger gathering the berries for the infant Zeus. It is a tale that conjures an Arcadian landscape of fauns, centaurs and nymphs frolicking among gardens of summer fruits and flowers, alive with birds, bees and butterflies.

In tribute to Ida, finely ground raspberry seed and Indian madder root—aptly known as “blood of the earth”—meet the deliciously floral scent of Madagascan rose geranium, ylang ylang and palmarosa. The lather is naturally creamy from the goat’s milk, with a satisfying scrub from the raspberry seed, ideal for buffing away dry skin across the body, especially on hands and feet.

The Green Man is our own distinctly British, even slightly kitsch, expression of the forest spirit archetype. He represents the enduring presence of trees and nature’s infinite cycle of growth, decay and renewal. His leafy face reminds us of our ancient, visceral love of the forest: to visit it every now and then, breathe in the scent of resinous sap, damp soil, moss, leaf and fern, and, amongst the hustle and bustle of modern life, find time to unwind and slow to the rhythm of the woods.

In honour of the Green Man’s spirit, crushed nettle leaf and matcha green tea meet Japanese hinoki wood and yuzu peel. The lather is luxurious and creamy, with a fresh scent reminiscent of the forest.

Mary’s Tears marks the turning of the year, when orchards and hedgerows become heavy with our native apples and blackberries, and walled gardens and glasshouses brim with a more exotic harvest of citrus, peaches, figs and grapes. All the while, the familiar cottage-garden annual, Calendula officinalis, continues to bloom in bright yellow and orange, lingering through late summer and into early autumn.

Rich in plant lore, calendula has many names: Mary’s Gold, for its colour and association with the Virgin Mary; and Solis Sponsa, “Bride of the Sun”, for the way its flowers open with the morning light and close again as day fades. Even its Latin name is linked to the word calendae, meaning the first day of the month—another reference to the plant as a seasonal marker, heralding the transition from one season to the next.

In tribute, calendula petals and white clay are folded together with bergamot, orange blossom and Taiwanese ho wood. The result is a delicate, gentle lather with a citrus-floral scent reminiscent of Victorian orangeries and Earl Grey tea.

Bwrw takes its name from the Welsh word bwrw (boo-roo), meaning to fall or scatter, as in bwrw glaw — rain falling — or bwrw eira — snow falling. True to its name, colourful ‘confetti’ pieces from our other soap blends are scattered throughout its raw, unscented soap base, making each bar or block low in fragrance and wonderfully unique, with patterns that look like ceramic terrazzo tiles. It is suitable for the whole family; babies, children and sensitive skin.
