About Us
Welcome to SweetLee Soap!
We’re a family owned and operated business rooted right here on our 20 acre farm in Beavercreek, Oregon. What started as a simple 4-H lesson has grown into a labor of love with our small-batch, cold process goat milk soaps made with milk from our very own Alpine goats.
How It All Began
I first learned to make soap at a 4-H club meeting in 2023. As a leader of our local club, I wanted to share hands on skills with the kids, and soap making quickly became a favorite. The whole family jumped in. Our kids help with every chore on the farm; from caring for the animals to the daily work that keeps everything running. In 2024, that shared passion turned into SweetLee Soap, a true family business.
Life on the Farm
We raise a mixed herd of Boer goats for meat and Alpine goats for milk. The kids show all of them in 4-H, and our goats have earned awards over the years. Milking the Alpines is part of our regular routine, and we use that farm fresh raw milk in our soaps. Living and working together on these 20 acres means every bar carries a little bit of our everyday life.
How We Make Our Soap
SweetLee Soap uses farm fresh raw goat milk from our Alpine goats and handcrafts it into beautiful or fun soaps made with quality oils. Fresh goat milk soap offers a nourishing way to enjoy a wonderful cleansing experience.
We use the cold process method and make everything in small batches so each bar is unique. Every batch starts with milk from our own herd, milked fresh on the farm. We also use organic lard (a traditional fat prized for creating a durable bar with excellent creamy lather and natural moisturization) along with organic oils of avocado, safflower, castor, coconut, and shea butter. The result is a hard, long-lasting soap with a rich, conditioning lather that leaves skin feeling soft and nourished. We love being creative, so we often add decorative soap dough as embeds or to decorate some of our bars.
A Few Important Notes
Soap is a rinse-off product for external skin only and is not intended for internal use. Please enjoy the fragrance, colors, and designs of your overall handcrafted goat milk soap. All our soaps are real soap and contain no phthalates, parabens, or detergents.
For a longer-lasting bar, remove it from direct water and allow it to drain and fully dry between uses. Soap dishes with raised portions or those that allow the water to drain are preferred.
If for any reason you are dissatisfied with your order, please contact us directly so we can work to make things right.
Thank you for your patience and for supporting our family owned and operated small business. We’re grateful you’re here!
