Wild Essence Goat Milk Soap – The Art of Slow Soap making
At Lime Splice, every bar of Wild Essence Goat Milk Natural Soap is made with patience, purpose, and a deep respect for nature’s ingredients. We don’t rush our process or mask imperfections with colourants or synthetic fragrances. Instead, we focus on what really matters — crafting a soap that nourishes your skin and celebrates the raw beauty of natural simplicity.
Pure Goat’s Milk Goodness
Goat’s milk has been cherished for centuries as a gentle skin cleanser and natural moisturizer. Rich in vitamins A, B6, B12, and E, as well as lactic acid, it helps soften, smooth, and hydrate the skin while encouraging a healthy, even tone.
In Wild Essence Goat’s Milk Soap, 10% of pure goat’s milk powder — enough to enrich every bar with creamy moisture while keeping the natural balance of our oils. This increase over our original formula makes the soap even creamier and more luxurious without overpowering the skin or changing its delicate texture.
We add no colour to this batch, allowing the soap to retain its natural ivory finish — a creamy, off-white tone that comes entirely from the blend of goat’s milk and nourishing plant oils. Each bar is unique, slightly varied in shade, and completely free from artificial tints.
The Slow, Cold Method
What makes Wild Essence Goat Milk Natural Soap truly special is the slow, cold-set process that protects all the goodness inside. After the soap is poured, we gently refrigerate it for 48 hours, allowing it to set naturally without entering the gel phase. This prevents the milk sugars from heating and caramelizing, preserving the soft colour and delicate nutrients that make goat’s milk so beneficial.
After its time in the fridge, the soap rests for another 24 hours in a cool, dark room — allowing it to stabilize and firm without stress or heat. Every batch is then unmolded by hand, carefully cut into individual bars, and placed on open shelves in a dark, well-ventilated area to cure.
For the next six weeks, the soap slowly transforms. Water evaporates gently, the texture hardens, and the scent matures into a mild, creamy aroma with soft floral and citrus notes from our signature essential oil blend. This long cure is essential. It’s what gives Wild Essence Goat Milk Natural Soap its luxurious lather and long-lasting quality — the hallmark of a truly handcrafted bar.
Enriched with Natural Oils & Vitamin E
As with all Lime Splice soaps, the foundation of this bar is our signature mix of high-quality natural oils — chosen for balance, nourishment, and a smooth, conditioning finish. Coconut oil brings cleansing power and bubbles, olive oil adds softness, and sustainable and castor oils round out the blend for a rich, creamy lather.
After trace, we blend in Vitamin E, known for its ability to protect the skin and enhance moisture retention. This final touch locks in hydration and gives every bar a subtle silkiness that your skin will feel instantly.
Natural Beauty in Every Bar
The result of this patient process is a soap that embodies everything Lime Splice stands for — Australian made, small-batch crafted, and rooted in natural simplicity. Wild Essence Goat Milk Natural Soap is gentle enough for all skin types, especially sensitive or dry skin.
Every bar carries the creamy purity of goat’s milk, the calming scent of our essential oil blend, and the quiet craftsmanship of a process that takes time — not shortcuts.
A Labor of Love
From start to finish, each Wild Essence bar takes over six weeks before it’s boxed and ready for sale. That’s six weeks of careful curing, patient waiting, and respectful handling of natural ingredients.
We could rush it — heat it, colour it, or accelerate the cure — but we don’t. Because good things take time, and truly natural soap deserves to be made slowly, with care.
