Frequently Asked Questions

Why a price increase? What does that mean for me?

Since launching our business in 2002, we have not increased our prices on 98% of our products in our retail shop or online. We consider our staff assets to our company and to maximize our appreciation for them and to retain staff longer, we are increasing our wages for our staff. Also, due to increases in our ingredients, packaging, containers and shipping we are increasing our prices to cover these expenses.

Our increase will be 5% to 7% and will begin on Monday, October 11th, and will affect all the products in our retail shop, on our website and all orders for wholesale as well.

For example, our 4.3 oz soap will increase from $5.00 to $5.35; our 8 oz plastic bottled lotion will go from $9.50 to $10.00; aromatherapy bath fizzies from $3.50 to $3.75, lip balms from $2.50 to $2.75, etc. These prices are still competitively lower than other handmade goat’s milk soaps, lotions, and body products in Utah. We are not increasing the prices of our cuticle oil, acne spot, and a few other newer products, or our baskets, soap dishes, signs, or décor.

Why Shea Butter?

Shea Butter comes from the nut of the Karite tree in Africa. The nuts are collected by local village women who have been extracting the butter for generations. The Spirit Goat uses raw, unrefined Shea butter which helps reduce facial lines, minor scars, dry skin, blemishes and bumps and helps maintain skins moisture, soothing, smoothing and conditioning the skin.

Why Handcrafted?

Handcrafted products like ours do not contain harsh, skin-irritating chemicals commonly found in factory made products. Instead, they contain nourishing, natural oils and the highest quality ingredients that benefit the skin. We measure everything from scratch in small batches, including our base oils, and make one batch at a time, to ensure the highest quality and best product possible. In addition, we do not remove the natural glycerin in our soaps, a common practice amongst larger companies. Natural glycerin helps to provide healthier skin. 

Why Goat's Milk?

Goat's milk is naturally high in vitamins, minerals, proteins, and alpha-hydroxy acids that nourish and rejuvenate the skin. Goat's milk has a pH close to our skins natural pH resulting in a mild, non-irritating, highly moisturizing product for even the most delicate skin. The Spirit Goat uses 100% goat's milk in all our soaps. No, we don't own goats anymore, but we do use goat's milk from local hobby farmers when goat's milk is in season and in abundance!
