Goat Milk Base
Versatile and gentle daily care.
Shea Butter Base
Intensive conditioning for dry skin.

Common questions
Which is better for very dry skin?
Shea butter soap has a higher fat content that remains on the skin after washing, providing a more moisturising feel for very dry skin.

Yes, goat milk soap is gentle enough for daily use on the face and body and is traditionally used for its mild cleansing properties.
Do these soaps contain SLS?
No, all Healing Soil soap bases are made without SLS or parabens, relying on traditional soap-making methods for their lather.
