When I first started making soap and lotion for personal use, my goal was simple: create products that were both effective and easy to use. I wanted something that would cleanse my pores and skin without any harsh chemicals and a lotion or cream that would protect my sensitive skin not just from the environment but also from the sun.
This mindset carried over when I created the Sassy Goat Facial Care Line. Years ago, I was introduced to Arbonne Skin Care, and while I was impressed with their facial line, I quickly grew to dislike the 10-step system. It was time-consuming, and more often than not, I’d lose track of which step I was on, forcing me to start over and waste the pricey products. I knew I didn’t want to repeat that experience in my own facial routine.
So, I made it as simple as possible—just like one, two, three, and done! No more complicated steps or wasted products, just straightforward skincare that works.
I fell in love with Frankincense Essential Oil after researching its incredible skin benefits—it’s anti-aging, anti-acne, reduces blemishes and rashes, evens out skin tone, and even tones the skin. Naturally, I had to incorporate it into my products, so I started crafting Magi’s Frankincense and Myrrh Goat Milk Soap and Body Lotion. I was instantly hooked, not just by the luxurious scent but by how much my skin improved after just one use.
Frankincense turned out to be the perfect partner for raw goat milk, which itself is a powerhouse for skincare. Goat milk contains Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), the same acid used in dermatological peels, but in a much gentler form. This natural acid helps with gentle exfoliation, removing dead skin cells that can make your skin look dull and tired. Plus, the vitamins A and D in goat milk promote the growth of fresh, rejuvenated skin, giving you that brilliant glow. And let’s not forget the natural fats in the milk, which provide deep hydration without leaving your skin feeling oily. It’s like a mini spa treatment in every use!
My customers loved the combination as much as I did, but they soon started asking for a liquid facial wash and a facial cream to complete their skincare routine. After diving into more research, I crafted a Facial Wash Base that featured not only the raw goat milk from our Mini Farm and Frankincense Essential Oil but also raw honey from our very own bees. The honey brought an extra layer of soothing and healing to stressed facial skin, making it the perfect addition.
With the base recipe ready and after testing it on my most trusted subjects (including myself, of course), I decided to add a few more delightful ingredients. I chose Neroli for its skin-tightening and relaxing properties and Grapefruit for its refreshing and calming effects. The response was fantastic! But I didn’t stop there. Our latest addition to the Sassy Goat Facial Wash lineup is the Rose & Vanilla scent—Rose for its calming influence and Vanilla for its sensual touch. It’s been a hit, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you!
When it came to creating the Facial Cream, I knew exactly what I wanted—a light, non-greasy formula that wouldn’t clog my pores and would be absorbed quickly into the skin. I wanted a cream that would leave my skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated without any oily residue. After some experimenting, I decided that Grapeseed Oil and Rosehip Oil would be the perfect base oils. Both oils are known for their ability to nourish and rejuvenate the skin, giving it a fresh, youthful appearance. To complete the formula, I chose Rose as the primary scent for its calming and soothing effects. The result was exactly what I had envisioned—a facial cream that’s light, effective, and a joy to use.
Later on, I decided to dive into researching herbs that could help tone the skin naturally. Many of my customers mentioned that they avoided toners because most of them contain alcohol, which can be harsh on the skin. During my research, I discovered the benefits of Wild Primrose and Oregano. These herbs are incredible for anti-aging and toning, offering a gentle, natural alternative. Personally, I’ve been using Primrose with great results.
And with that, the Sassy Goat Facial Care Line was born. It’s been a game-changer for so many of our customers, helping them improve their skin tone and overall complexion, regardless of their skin type or age. What’s even more rewarding is hearing how they’ve started sharing the Facial Kits (Neroli, Grapefruit, and Rose & Vanilla) with their loved ones, spreading the love and benefits of natural, effective skincare.
