Julia Marie has searched far and wide for a plastic product made from recycled plastic. We currently offer glass pump top bottles for some of our products. Glass will not leach chemicals into the product. Glass is easily recycled. When you are finished with your bottle PLEASE RECYCLE!
SOAP
Julia Marie soap uses goat milk as well! We choose to not use any fragrances or essential oils in our soap. The soap has a sweet smell naturally from the ingredients use. Additionally, during the summer Julia Marie collects plants and infuses them into olive oil and lard. The infused oils and fats are then used in the soap. Repeat customers enjoy the results they see from the simple and natural ingredients used. Julia Marie continues to take recommendations and work with recipes to bring customers the best in variety without compromising on our NO fragrance and essential oil policy.
BAR SOAP
Why Julia Marie uses lard:
Lard is the traditional fat used in soap making. Lard is a byproduct of the meat industry and is readily available. Oftentimes fat is just thrown out and never rendered into lard. Julia Marie uses lard for its moisturizing qualities. Lard is a readily available product found in Wisconsin and does not contribute to companies using mono-cultured tree plantations to make oil.
Now a days, many people shy away from using soap with lard, yet, lard has many wonderful characteristics. Lard makes a nice hard bar of soap. Lard makes nice bubbly suds. Lard will help moisturize.
Not all of our soap use lard:
Julia Marie recognizes that not all people feel that using lard is appropriate. Julia Marie makes soaps without the use of lard. Look at the ingredient list of our soaps before purchasing.
SHAMPOO BAR
Julia Marie has a shampoo bar full of wonderful ingredients to nourish the hair and scalp. Our number one seller is the stinging nettle infused olive oil and coconut oil shampoo bar. Julia Marie gathers the nettle right here on the land in Wisconsin. Don’t worry! Once the nettle is infused in the oil, it does not “sting” any longer. Nettle is said to be great for your hair follicles. This shampoo bar is great for camping trips. The soap becomes a one-in-all bar. Take the one bar and use it for hands, hair and body.
Soap care
Keep the soap out of the stream of water from the shower. If the soap remains in water, it will continue to dissolve in the wet conditions. We recommend letting your soap sit in a dish with holes or on a rack that will allow the soap to completely dry between uses.
Using the soap:
Like most soap, if the soap gets into your eyes it may burn. Make sure when rinsing your hair to keep the stream of water away from your face. When using soap on your face, make sure to rinse it well before opening your eyes. If for some reason you get a rash, discontinue use.
