There’s a hush that settles over the porch come December — that slow, golden kind of quiet where the air smells of pine, old hymns, and home. Front Porch Noël was born from that stillness.
 
This winter bar blends grass-fed and finished beef tallow with fresh, raw Idaho goat milk for a creamy, velvety lather that feels like wrapping your hands around a cup of something warm. The scent carries through softly — sacred notes of organic frankincense and myrrh resin, grounded and reverent, like candlelight flickering through a country chapel window.
Swirls of indigo, ivory, and mocha trace through each bar like snow and shadow at dusk, while the top is crowned with crushed organic frankincense and myrrh pearls — a nod to the timeless gifts of the season.
 
Hand-poured, slow-cured, and made with care from our home in Meridian, Idaho — this is the South’s quiet Christmas story, told in soap.
 
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.
 
*Natural Olive Pomace Oil - A time-honored staple in natural skincare, olive pomace oil is rich in antioxidants, squalene, and nourishing fatty acids. Extracted from the whole olive fruit, including the skin and pit, this oil deeply moisturizes, softens, and protects the skin without clogging pores. Its natural emollient properties help soothe dryness, calm irritation, and support the skin’s natural barrier. Olive pomace oil also creates a gentle, conditioning lather in cold process soap — making it ideal for sensitive or dry skin types.
 
#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 Essential Oil Blend - At the heart of Front Porch Noël lies a reverent pairing of Frankincense and Myrrh essential oils — timeless resins once treasured for their grounding, sacred scent. Together, they create a warm, resinous aroma that carries whispers of woodsmoke and honeyed amber, evoking candlelit chapels and winter’s quiet grace. Frankincense lends a clean, meditative clarity, while Myrrh deepens the blend with its earthy sweetness—a union that feels both ancient and comforting, enveloping the senses in calm and reflection.
 
**Organic & Natural Clays & Botanicals - Each bar of Front Porch Noël is grounded in a gentle blend of White Kaolin Clay and Arrowroot Powder, lending a smooth, velvety texture that softens and nourishes the skin with every lather. The bar’s warm mocha tones come to life through Raw Cacao Powder and French Yellow Clay, adding depth and a natural, earthy richness. Flowing through these warm hues are ribbons of Indigo and Serbian Blue Clay, creating the bar’s deep, celestial blue swirls — reminiscent of a winter night sky. Together, these natural clays and botanicals color the soap in a way only the earth can, giving each bar its own handcrafted character and quiet beauty.
 
*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.
