Welcome to Milky Way Soaps
Welcome to our little dairy farm tucked away in the quiet countryside of Amboy, Washington; just north of Portland, Oregon. Here, life moves with the seasons, the rhythm of morning chores, and the gentle hum of a small dairy herd that’s truly part of our family. Every bar of soap and every jar of cream begins with the fresh, nutrient-rich milk from our beloved goats and sheep who are raised with kindness, patience, and daily hands-on care.
We craft each product by hand, in small batches, using natural oils, simple ingredients, and traditional methods that honor the land and the animals who make it possible. From our gentle goat and sheep milk soaps to our rich, moisturizing lotions, every product is created to soften, restore, and bring healthy radiance back to your skin
Thank you for visiting our farm shop. It means the world to us.
We hope our handmade products bring softness to your skin, peace to your routine, and a touch of the love and care that goes into every step of what we do.
Why OUR Goat & Sheep Milk Soap Is Better for Your Skin
Most store-bought “soaps” aren’t true soap at all. They’re detergent bars made with synthetic cleansers, added water, and harsh ingredients that strip away your skin’s natural oils. This is why many people feel dry, tight, itchy, or irritated after using commercial products.
Our goat and sheep milk soaps are different. We make real soap the traditional way — gentle, nourishing, and designed to work with your skin, not against it.
Pure Milk, No Water Added
We do not use water in our soap.
Instead, we use 100% fresh goat and sheep milk from our own farm.
Milk is naturally rich in:
-
Vitamins A, D, and B-complex
-
Lactic acid (a gentle, natural exfoliant)
-
Healthy fats that help nourish and soften skin
Using pure milk creates a bar that’s naturally moisturizing and gentle, making it ideal for sensitive, dry, or problem-prone skin.
High-Quality Animal Fats: Lard & Tallow
Our soap is made with lard and beef tallow, which are some of the most skin-compatible fats available.
These traditional fats closely mimic the fatty acids found in healthy human skin, helping to:
-
Support the skin’s natural moisture barrier
-
Clean without over-drying
-
Leave skin soft, conditioned, and balanced
Unlike many modern oils, lard and tallow are stable, nourishing, and deeply moisturizing, not greasy or pore-clogging.
Gentle, Real Soap
Our soaps are:
-
Handcrafted in small batches
-
Made from scratch on our farm
-
Free of detergents, sulfates, seed oils, palm oil, parabens, and phthalates
-
Never tested on animals
Because we retain the naturally occurring glycerin created during soapmaking, our bars cleanse while still helping your skin hold onto moisture.
The Result
A creamy, long-lasting bar that:
-
Cleans without stripping
-
Soothes dry or irritated skin
-
Feels gentle enough for daily use
-
Leaves skin soft, not tight
From our farm to your skin with simple ingredients, traditional methods, and soap your skin actually recognizes.
