Old Fashioned Hand Made Soap brings best of Brazil to USA.

Century Old Family of Natural Handcrafted Soap

Santa Lucia Murari Borba was a farmer's daughter from Murari's Borba, born in Italy 1904. She moved to Brazil in 1917 from her home in Toscany where she had to learn to make soap from scratch and essential oils from the plants out of necessity.
After years of making soap for her 13 children, her family finally convinced her to open a small soap shop in Sao Paulo Brazil where she made soaps with her family for 25 years, those soap recipes found there way to North Carolina last year when I went back to Brazil for Christmas and asked grandmother for food recipes to bring back to NC. While looking through boxes of recipes we came across all her old soap and essential oil recipes.

Feeling Adventurous?Goat's Milk Soap

Feeling Adventurous? Look to the Farm. They may seem like unusual beauty picks, but goat's milk and ghee are skin-friendly and extremely emollient. Goat's milk has more calcium, vitamins, and triglycerides (fats) than cow's milk, and its short-strand protein structure means it's particularly suited to skin absorption. The milk's lactic acid makes it a spa favorite for buttery-soft skin. 

Tips for Using Goat Milk Soap on Eczema- Kids

  • Use lukewarm water — hot water strips the skin's natural oils and worsens eczema. Keep bath time short (5–10 minutes).
  • Lather gently — use your hands rather than a rough washcloth or loofah to avoid friction on sensitive skin.
  • Pat dry, don't rub — gently pat skin with a soft towel to avoid irritation.
  • Moisturize immediately after — apply a fragrance-free moisturizer within 3 minutes of bathing to lock in hydration.
  • Do a patch test first — even with gentle ingredients, every child's skin is different. Test on a small area before full use.
  • Use consistently — gentle, natural soap works best as part of a regular, simple skin care routine.

This soap is made with goats milk and coconut milk , both are a natural, soothing skin cleanser and moisturizer. We add oatmeal which calms irritated skin and honey which adds moisturizes to the skin. Coconut-oil infused soap moistures the skin. It's delicate, non-oily, and sweet-smelling as a tropical breeze. We use fresh creamy goats milk made from farm fresh local milk. We never use powdered goats milk or water. Goat milk is rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals. Its gentle and nourishing properties bathe your skin in luxury. The oatmeal naturally exfoliates your skin, leaving you feeling refreshed and silky soft.


Ghee, or clarified butter, is an Ayurvedic staple used to moisturize and purify the body. It's also a great digestive and detox aid because it stimulates the liver to secrete bile. Rogers Badgett, owner of the Raj, an Ayurveda health retreat in Vedic City, Iowa, suggests ingesting a quarter teaspoon of ghee in the morning and night (this is not recommended for overweight people or those who have weak digestion). Some centers also use it in Netra Basti, a purification treatment said to balance the pitta dosha and bring luster to the eyes. It's not for the squeamish: In a reclining prone position, you slowly blink as a skilled technician gently applies warm ghee to your eyes. Afterward, your closed eyes are wiped gently and the residual oils moisturize skin and soften lines.

FURTHER makes soap with Batali's Gourmet Grease & Coffee Soap Naturalhandcraftedsoap.com


FURTHER makes soap with Batali's Gourmet Grease

Mario along with partners Nancy Silverton and Joe Bastianich have teamed up with Marshall Dostal, the founder of FURTHER Soap to cart away 1600 gallons of waste grease each month from Mozza. The depleted vegetable oil will be converted into biodiesel and the remaining glycerin will be purified to become FURTHER Soap. The biodiesel will be used to fuel the two Dostal family cars, and the Batali-infused FURTHER hand soap will be returned to Mozza's bathrooms. Patrons will dine on Mozza's gourmet fare and then wash with FURTHER -- participating in a perfect, sustainable circle.
