Hand-crafted, fragrantly-rich goat milk soaps for health-conscious consumers like you who feel that good skin care is essential.
Nice Touch is a woman-owned, "cottage" business that
creates handmade goat milk and shea butter soaps for health-
conscious consumers who feel good skin care is essential. For
the past 10 years, I have been making beautiful and aromatic
soaps by hand in small batches in my home workshop in the
foothills of the California Gold Country.
Years ago, I began making goatmilk soap for family and friends, but
soon discovered that they were giving it to their family and friends who wanted more! Over time, I perfected my craft, began making it in larger quantities . . . and Nice Touch Handmade Goat Milk Soap was born. Because this is a one-woman operation, and soap making is more a passion than a business, I do not have a physical storefront. My soap beauties are exclusively available on-line at this site. I'm glad you found it!
I believe that fine, aromatic soap should not only look nice and smell good, but should contain quality ingredients you can understand and feel comfortable using on your skin. I think you'll agree.
Warmest Regards,
Daily pollutants and stress on your skin can take a
toll, and you may find your skin dry and deprived of valuable nutrients. Created from scratch, these aromatic soaps are lovingly handmade in small batches with skin-loving goat milk and luxury, all vegetable oils, including Olive, Coconut Jojoba, Palm, and Shea butter. Choose from the wide selection of soaps scented with 100% essential oils and fine fragrances, and naturally colored with earth's finest herbs and mineral pigments. Unscented and uncolored soaps are also available for my most sensitive-skinned clients!
There's no comparison between Nice Touch handmade goat milk soap and "melt and pour" products offered in today's market, knowingly or unknowingly described as"natural," "homemade," or "handcrafted." Unlike commercially-manufactured products that contain cheap fillers, detergents and preservatives, you can easily understand the superior ingredients on the Nice Touch label. In fact, I will personally answer any questions you may have to help you understand the difference. Your skin will certainly FEEL the difference! You'll instantly notice the quality by the moisture-rich, penetrating lather that leaves your skin feeling soft, silky and pampered.

Very often people ask me, "Why on earth do you make soap? You can buy it at the grocery store for almost nothing!" That's a good question - and there's a reason that . . . that . . . stuff is so cheap!
Years ago, after becoming curious about the ingredients the huge soap companies put in mass-manufactured soap, I became concerned. (After all, I've worked with more than my share of greedy corporate executives in my time, and I know how they cut costs.) And I was putting the stuff all over my skin! Consequently, I was compelled to do some research to find out what those chemicals really were. Quite frankly, I didn't like what I discovered.
I then wondered how soap was actually made, and whether I could do a better job, myself. Little did I know then how that seemingly simple question would impact my life! After many hours of researching, experimenting, and refining my skills, I developed a superior product by using quality ingredients -- ingredients that you can understand, and feel confident using on your skin.
The smooth, penetrating lather and skin-loving goat milk leaves your skin feeling soft, silky, and pampered. You'll notice that "tight skin syndrome" we've all experienced with commercial-grade soap will disappear. Because of the naturally-occurring glycerin that is found in our hand-made soap, my clients have marveled that after regular use, they no longer need to use lotions to moisturize their skin. Don't you and your family deserve that?
Nice Touch soap is made in the tradition of fine soap-making, using the "cold process" method. It is not cooked, so its nutrients are retained. I don't claim to be a chemist, but it wasn't hard to figure out that there are cheap oils, detergents, waxes, and preservatives in those bars. (Take a look at the label on a bar of soap you have in your cabinet, Google those chemically-sounding ingredients, and see for yourself. Ew! You're putting that on your skin!)
Other soap makers offer different fragrances, but that doesn't necessarily make it good soap. The quality really depends on the base. I select and blend only the highest grade oils, including Olive, Coconut, Palm, Sweet Almond, Soybean, Jojoba, and Shea (also known as "African Karite") Butter. Absolutely no animal fats are used. My soaps are scented with superior essential and fragrance oils, and are artistically colored with mineral pigments.
Milk has been valued throughout the ages as a skin softener, even for the most sensitive and tender skin. Goat milk is particularly rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals, and has a natural ability to moisturize, nourish, and retain its goodness on your skin. It is such a pure, natural, and wonderful beauty aid that doctors often prescribe goat milk soap for people who suffer from eczema.
So what does this mean to you? I think you'll discover Nice Touch Goat Milk soap to be the most soothing, luxurious and creamy soap you'll ever use!
I'm often asked, "Is this lye soap?" Actually, that's kind of like asking, "Is this H2O water?"
Stay with me here.
High school chemistry taught us that water, itself, is two parts hydrogen, and one part oxygen. Alone, they're quite different substances. (In fact, they use hydrogen to make bombs!) Together, however, they become our precious, fundamental life force.
Frankly, ALL soap is made with lye (Sodium Hydroxide) - even the most so-called "gentle" soaps, whether from your grocery store or fine cosmetics counter. If they try to tell you otherwise, turn around and walk away, because they don't know what they're talking about, or are not being honest.
Simply, during the "cold process," Sodium Hydroxide is combined with the exact amount of distilled water and base oils (fats) required to create soap. The thing is, once soap has "saponified," (which is just a fancy word for cured), the lye is neutralized, and no longer exists in its original state.
Think of it this way: Is a butterfly still a caterpillar?
Client Feedback . . .
Julica D, (Germany - cosmetics/fashion model) "I love your soap. I have very sensitive, dry skin, which gets neurodermatitis and allergies. For a long time I used medical soap, with little or none effect. Since I've used your soap all skin-problems are gone. It is a miracle! So I can really say loud, that my beauty is a direct effect of your soap! The human skin is the biggest organ we have. It must defend every second of our life our body from the attacks from environment, against germs, viruses, weather, sun, pollution. If the skin is not intact, the whole body's health is in danger! So a good skin-care for me is more than cosmetic, it is an investment into life!"
Linda S. (WA) - "I love my soap. I just washed my hands -- and I love the smell and how my hands feel. They feel soft, and not dry as with most soaps. The lather is perfect -- but how clean it makes you feel is what I noticed most. Refreshing!"
Barbara B. (NJ) - "I have just added you to my favorites so that I don't lose you. I've now gone two winters without skin problems on my face. My skin used to turn beet red, peel and crack. No more. I even have my 11 year old son using your soaps, though he looks for the manly colors and scents :-) "
Carole G. (CA) - "I've been using your soaps to help with my little girl's baby acne problem. It was gone within a couple of days!"
Dionne C. (NE) - "Okay, ordering again! My husband is hooked! Your soaps were a huge hit at Christmas. My 18 yr old niece couldn't stop sniffing the Jazzmine scented bar I gave her! I gave some to my mom and mother-in-law and used one for myself and now it's gone! My husband wants more! He loves it! I'll want some on hand for gifts when I need them. I have to share it with all my friends!

Where Is Soap?
(to be sung to the tune of "Where is Love?")
Where is soap? Cyndi's got some made, I hope.
Will I ever know, the Nice Touch glow
That comes from only she?
Who can say where it may hide?
Must I travel far and wide
Till I'm clean and fresh and happily,
Using soap made for me.
Where? Where is soap?
