Is your soap suitable for sensitive/problem skins?
Many people with sensitive skin have gone out of their way to contact me to tell me how impressed they are with the soap, commenting that it is the best soap that they have ever used! Everyone’s skin is different, so I’m not going to make any claims, but lots of people who have tried it recommend it to others.

Does your soap smell?
Some people ask me if it smells of goats – well no it doesn’t. It does have a slight aroma of white chocolate from the cocoa butter- which I think is quite scrummy!

How many varieties of soap do you sell?
I’ve also been asked if I do any other varieties of my soap; my answer is always the same ; “How many varieties of pure can you get?”

What do you do with the male kids?
No doubt with the commercial dairy industry in mind, people ask me what I do with the male kids that are born. The answer is that we keep them and they earn their living as companions and celebrity soap stars - in the future they may occasionally go to a good experienced home where they would be good companions.
