Sweetlife Farm soaps and skincare are made from recipes Nancy has tweaked & refined for the past two decades.

Our products are so gentle that our daughter, who has coped with eczema since childhood, can use every one without causing a flareup.

Understanding the usefulness of ingredients, and how combinations of fats, oils, butters & botanicals support healthy skin is the key to effective skincare. 
OILS BUTTERS AND FATS

Coconut Oil is a super cleansing oil when used in soap; a carefully fine-tuned amount in our soap recipes achieves cleansing without stripping the skin of its natural oils
Goat Milk contains lactic acid and fatty acids & its Ph is very close to the skin’s own Ph balance; we use goat milk for its soothing softening and hydrating properties
Hempseed Oil is packed with skin-loving minerals & micro-elements. High in essential fatty acids such as omega 6 and omega 3; an excellent ingredient for sensitive or acne-prone skin
Mango Butter is rich, moisturizing & contains Vitamin C to brighten skin, Vitamin A to increase the skin's youthful appearance & reduce fine lines. 
Olive Oil creates a creamy, mild bar of soap with high antioxidant properties & water soluble vitamins to help reduce premature aging effects, & problems with psoriasis and eczema.
Palm Oil is used for its hardening & lathering properties in soap. Ours is sourced from a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.
Rice Bran Oil contains vitamin E,  oryzanol, oleic & linolenic acids to smooth out fine lines & wrinkles, reduce dark spots & puffiness & acne outbreaks.
Shea Butter comes from the seed of the African Shea Tree, and is renown for its skin softening and moisturizing qualities
Tallow (animal fat). Most Sweetlife Soaps contain Lard (pig fat), which produces creamy,  stable lather & highly desirable mild, moisturizing qualities in soap to help prevent dry skin. Since humans consume animals for food, my goal is to make sure we honor & use every part. Those who prefer vegan products may select from our soaps that do not contain tallow.

LYE
When lye is introduced to fats and oils, it breaks the molecules apart and bonds with them in a process  called saponification, to create a new compound – soap! The quality of the soap depends greatly on the quality and combination of fats, oils, butters, and botanicals with the lye solution. In short, soap is soap, but it soaps are not all the same.
