There’s nothing quite like the comfort of a steaming cup of coffee and cream on a slow Southern morning—and that’s exactly what Café Au Lait brings to your skin. Named for the Cajun French tradition of “coffee milk,” this soap is a down-home nod to porch swings at dawn, the scent of fresh-brewed coffee drifting through the kitchen, and the kind of simple luxuries that make life rich.
Creamy goat milk and golden tallow create a lather as smooth as cream stirred into coffee, while real ground coffee beans offer a rustic exfoliation that wakes up tired skin. The infusion of roasted coffee oils, sweet almond oil, and warm tonka bean lends the soap a natural aroma—soft, nutty, and faintly sweet—like the very heart of a café au lait poured fresh in a chipped farmhouse mug. Each bar is speckled with earthy coffee grounds and dusted across the textured top, adding to its natural, handcrafted charm.
This is more than soap—it’s a piece of Southern comfort, a reminder to slow down, breathe deep, and savor the little things. With every wash, Café Au Lait captures the warmth of Cajun kitchens, the hush of quiet mornings, and the timeless ritual of coffee shared with family.
Ingredients:
**Dry Rendered, Grass-Fed and Finished Beef Tallow – Rendered In-House, a deeply moisturizing and nutrient-rich fat, tallow creates a firm, long-lasting bar with a rich, creamy lather. Packed with skin-loving vitamins A, D, E, and K, it supports elasticity, soothes dryness, and nourishes sensitive skin.
**Organic Babassu Oil – Lightweight yet deeply nourishing, organic babassu oil is pressed from the kernels of the babassu palm native to Brazil. Rich in lauric and myristic acids, in soap, babassu offers a creamy, bubbly lather and acts as a gentle alternative to coconut oil — ideal for sensitive skin. Its soothing, cooling properties help calm dryness and irritation, making it a perfect addition to our nourishing tallow soaps.
**Organic Castor Oil – Known for its exceptional lather-boosting properties, castor oil enhances the soap’s bubbles and provides a smooth, conditioning feel on the skin. It also helps retain moisture, making it a great addition for sensitive skin.
**Organic Coffee Bean-Infused Olive Pomace Oil - Our olive pomace oil is slowly infused with organic roasted coffee beans, capturing both the nourishing properties and the unmistakable aroma of fresh-brewed coffee. Rich in antioxidants, natural caffeine, and polyphenols, this infusion helps stimulate circulation, gently firm, and brighten the skin while guarding against environmental stressors. Olive pomace oil itself is loaded with fatty acids, squalene, and vitamins that deeply condition, soften, and protect. Together, the infusion creates an oil that not only pampers the skin with moisture and vitality, but also carries a subtle, roasted scent — warm, earthy, and comforting, like the first inhale of a steaming cup enjoyed on a quiet Southern morning.
**Organic Tonka Bean & Sweet Almond Oil-Infused Cherry Kernel Oil - Our cherry kernel oil is luxuriously infused with organic tonka beans and sweet almond oil, creating a decadent blend that nourishes the skin while indulging the senses. Cherry kernel oil is naturally rich in vitamins A and E, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that help restore elasticity, soften fine lines, and deeply moisturize without heaviness. Sweet almond oil enhances this infusion with its gentle, conditioning touch, while the tonka beans impart their signature warm, sweet aroma — reminiscent of vanilla, caramel, almonds, and a hint of spice. The result is a silky infusion that leaves the skin supple and radiant, while its cozy, gourmand scent wraps you in the comforting sweetness of a Southern kitchen, like sugar and spice simmering on the stove.
#Raw Goat Milk - Fresh, raw goat milk has long been a gift from nature for nurturing the skin. Rich in gentle lactic acids, vitamins, and natural lipids, it deeply moisturizes while helping to soften and renew. Its creamy composition supports the skin’s natural barrier, soothes dryness, and delivers a feeling of lasting comfort. Unprocessed and full of life, raw goat milk brings a quiet kind of nourishment — leaving the skin feeling tender, supple, and restored.
**Organic Coffee Grounds, Arrowroot Powder & White Kaolin Clay – Speckled throughout each bar and lightly sprinkled across the top, organic ground coffee beans bring gentle exfoliation, helping to lift away dull skin while awakening the senses with their roasted aroma. They not only add rustic beauty to the soap but also deliver antioxidants and a touch of invigorating energy to the skin. Balanced against this earthy texture, arrowroot powder lends a silky smooth slip, leaving the lather soft and comforting, while white kaolin clay adds creaminess and a powdery elegance that soothes and purifies without stripping. Together, this trio creates a bar that feels both revitalizing and indulgent — polished yet comforting, like the perfect cup of coffee softened with cream.
*Natural Sodium Lactate - a natural, liquid salt derived from the fermentation of sugars, often from corn or beets. In soap making, it plays a vital role in producing a firm, long-lasting bar by hardening the soap. Beyond structural benefits, sodium lactate also helps retain moisture, ensuring the soap remains gentle and nourishing on the skin. It's a must-have ingredient for achieving a creamy, luxurious texture without compromising quality or performance.
***Each cold-processed soap is created through the traditional saponification process, which transforms natural oils into soap using our raw goat milk and lye (sodium hydroxide) or distilled water. This essential process binds the oils and lye, resulting in a gentle yet powerful cleansing bar. Once fully cured, no lye remains in the final product—only pure, skin-friendly soap that effectively cuts through grease while being safe and natural for everyday use. Please also note, each bar may differ a bit in color, shape and size, and are cured for at least 4 to 6 weeks to ensure a harder, longer-lasting bar with a rich, creamy lather. This extended curing time allows excess moisture to evaporate, resulting in a milder, more effective soap that cleans beautifully while remaining gentle on your skin. A well-cured soap bar not only lasts longer but also improves in quality over time, providing the best possible experience with every use.
Directions for Use: Lather the bar between your hands or on a washcloth with warm water. Massage onto damp skin and rinse clean. For longer-lasting bars, store soap on a well-draining soap dish and allow it to dry between uses. Perfect for: Daily face and body use, especially for those who love earthy, detoxifying, and visually striking soaps.
