Goat Milk Stuff

sandylu — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 16:09:08 GMT

Hi All!

In lieu of all the happenings and the fact that the postings were all poofed, I decided to buy soap, laundry soap and solid lotion from a family farm. It is "Goat Milk Stuff". It was recommended by someone here on this forum and I called them.

They use the milk (not powder) and they have Unscented. The prices are crazy good and so I ordered. It will be shipped TODAY. Shipping charge was $6.95 total and if you are first time buyer you can get a small discount. Wonderful people that are family oriented.

I am very grateful to whomever amde the suggestion.

@sandylu Glad you are please so far. Several of us on the boards purchase from them. You will smile when your packing slip has little notes from all the children. I've purchased their soap, lip balm and little bags with soap shavings that I scent some of the drawers with. The quality is wonderful.

Let us know how you like their products.

@sandylu Until now, I've been happy with the Beekman products I've purchased...until last night when I read about the goings on, on Facebook, with one of the boys. I didn't read any of the posts mentioned, I don't know what got him to that point, etc., but I can understand the disappointment his real life actions not matching up with is neighborly tv persona. It's made me stop and think. I have plenty of Beekman wipes and soap to keep me clean for many months to come, well into 2019. At this point, I'm not so persuaded to chase after them and will likely give GMS a try too.

Berkman takes the same size bar of soap, wrap it in designer paper and charge almost half as much plus price (6.50 wrap fancy on sale 10.00) if you buy 4!

I think I will also try their products at some point.

I have so much to use right now that I'm not buying until I use the stuff I have. LOL!!!

Hope I like their soap as much as I like the Beekman.

I have tried to use my Perlier Honey shower gel & Korres shower gel but it does not feel like I get it rinsed off so I have to go over with the Beekman soap to remove all of it. I gave or threw out all my other shower gel products.

I never bought any Beekman soap from The Shopping Channel in Canada due to cost. It would have worked out to $10 a bar. I bought a bar of unscented Caprina by Canus goat milk soap from a bricks and mortar store for about $2.

@Zhills Your right we are paying for all that fancy wrapping & packaging. Last 2 times I stocked up on their soap bars Evine had free shipping plus 15% or 20% off with their card. They have not done that in quite some time. I think it was less than $8 per bar buying 8 bars total. I'm sure I have enough soap to last until some time next year. LOL!!!

@TY I have also tried that brand as I have tried so many looking for the right one. Canus does not compare to Beekman IMO.

I purchase Zum goat milk products. I have been using their bar soap for over 10 years and it never dries my skin. Glad you found products you like. I wish Zum would come to QVC.

@Katcat1 I have tried a lot of other soaps but don't think I have ever tried ZUM. I'm pretty sure iHerb sells it so I will order a bar to try next time I place an order.

I was buying soap at a boutique downtown that came from Co before I started using Beekman. It was probably about the best I had used before Beekman. A lot of them are nice but did not keep my skin from being drier after showering like the Beekman.

@butterfly123 Ooo, thank you for this list!

There was a soap I was using before I was gifted the Unscented Beekman Goat Soap that we loved but became difficult to find. Large bars, around $7-10 a bar, triple milled and from France. They offered many scents but the Pure Milk one was what we all used and loved. I didn't mind the switch because it was much easier to find the Beekman item.

I'm going to back out and see if I can find my old soap (a product I would use till the end of time, it's THAT good) without having to climb hill and dale for it.

If you find a great soap that works on very dry skin/chronic skin issues,please let everyone know! I will, that's for sure : )

I have been very happy with Windrift Hill products. Love their scents. I also noticed that a vendor at our local market sells beautiful soaps and lotions made from goat milk. I think goats and their products are very popular right now. The people at our market do goat yoga, so I may have to try that.

Thanks for sharing this wealth of alternative vendors! I will definitely check them out! I love to support small businesses in the USA.

"Small business" is what started me out on the road to goat milk soap. I look forward to trying them out. I will definitely do some home work on the vendors!!!!

I looked into their products too...but they clearly state, they DO NOT add goats milk to alot of products because they dont use preservatives. It's not in lip balm or lotions. It is in the bar soap. So if anyone really wants the benefits of goat milk, read the ingredients. They list everything and explain why it's not in some products. Personally, I'm finding my skin likes some goat milk in products...but if I may say, I have sensitive skin, and often outbreaks of rashes, which is under drs care. So I'm VERRRY particular what I use. So far Beekman soap, and cream has been a delight.

I have purchased the GMS soap also and like it alot. I bought into the Beekman hype. I did like the soap, but something just didn't seem right about the size of the organization and really using the goats.

I receive the monthly GMS newsletter and really enjoying reading it. I also occasionally read the mother's blog.

Right now I don't need anything, but would like to try their laundry detergent.

Two questions: Cruelty Free?

If you used this detergent, are you pleased with the outcome?

Thanx!

I use Wen Cleansing Conditioner for bathing. Although not a goat milk product, it's wonderful. Cruelty Free. Leaves my skin soft and very well moisturized all year. I do routinely use a moisturizer afterwards but my skin is so supple I could pass, especially in these warmer months. I use a Salix cloth, loofah, or exfoliating glove to apply.

Lots of scent to choose from in addition to unscented and fragrance free options. With the annual June sale of gallons taking place, there's been several price saving promos, ODO"s etc being offered too. June 13 is a significant Wen day to watch for specials.

@SahmIam I understand a fragrance free product may best suit your family's needs but wanted to share that the Wen Summer Honey Peach is ah mazing! Any and all of the products offered are consistent with the scent. Even the candle! I'd read you adore peach scents in your home and thought to share. Btw, the edp is sheer nirvana!
