The 2017 Originals
The four formulas we started with in 2017. Still made the same way, still our bestsellers.
Accessible Excellence
Luxury skincare shouldn't require a luxury budget. We use the same organic ingredients you'd find in $150 face creams, then price them like a family business — because we cut out the middlemen and make everything ourselves. Everyone deserves to feel good in their skin.
Goat Milk
Goat milk contains 0.5–1% lactic acid naturally. Enough to gently exfoliate. Not enough to sting.
Goat Milk
Goat milk sits at 6.1–6.4 — mildly acidic. Traditional soap runs 9 to 10. That gap is why one leaves your barrier intact and the other leaves your face tight and stinging.
Goat Milk
Goat milk's fat globules average 3.5 micrometers; cow milk's are 4.5. Smaller molecules absorb instead of sitting on top.

Why Goats?
Because goat milk does things other milks don't. Its fat globules are smaller, so the lipids sink in instead of sitting on top. It carries lactic acid naturally — the gentlest of the exfoliating acids. And its medium-chain fatty acids are real emollients, the kind that soften skin that's gone dry and rough.
Ours comes from our own herd in Washington State, fresh into the formula the same day. Never dried, never reconstituted, never bought from a supplier.
Priorities in Formulation
A Deeper Dive on our Strategic Choices
Before synthetic peptides, before bioengineered growth factors, before the multi-billion dollar anti-aging industry as we know it existed, nature had already solved the problem of cellular regeneration. Colostrum—the first milk produced by mammals in the 72 hours following birth—contains the precise combination of growth factors, immunoglobulins, and bioactive compounds necessary to transform delicate newborn tissue into resilient, functioning systems.
Arnica montana has been used for centuries in European folk medicine for treating bruising, inflammation, and muscle pain. Modern research has moved beyond tradition to examine its mechanisms and efficacy.
Powdered milk production involves spray-drying or drum-drying processes that expose milk to temperatures typically ranging from 150°F to over 400°F, depending on the method. This heat treatment accomplishes two industrial objectives: it removes water (creating a shelf-stable, lightweight product) and it kills microorganisms (extending storage life).
But not all goat milk skincare is created equal. The difference between fresh goat milk and powdered reconstituted milk—the kind many commercial brands quietly use—represents a distinction that matters at the molecular level. Understanding the science behind goat milk helps explain why, and why discerning consumers are learning to read labels more carefully.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) has emerged as an effective vehicle for delivering bioavailable sulfur both orally and topically. What began as a supplement for joint health has expanded into skincare, where peer-reviewed research is documenting effects on inflammation, collagen synthesis, and visible signs of aging.
What the Queen of Egypt understood intuitively, modern dermatology has since confirmed through decades of research. Lactic acid stands among the most thoroughly studied skincare actives, with documented benefits for exfoliation, hydration, barrier function, and anti-aging. But here's what makes it particularly interesting for those seeking gentle, effective skincare: lactic acid occurs naturally in goat milk at concentrations that deliver benefits without the irritation associated with high-strength synthetic formulations.
