Yes. This bar is made to work as a soap and a shampoo bar in one, so you can use it head to toe. Lather it in your hands or straight onto wet hair, then rinse thoroughly. Hair may feel slightly different at first, and some people need a short detox period as their hair adjusts away from liquid shampoo. This settles down after a few washes.
It's a tricky one to pin down exactly, since everyone uses their bar a little differently. Curing and drying the bar between uses on a draining soap dish helps it last longer. The older the soap, the longer it lasts, since it firms up over time.
Yes, this is one of the main reasons people choose it. Goat's milk is naturally gentle and moisturising, and it's good for dry, sensitive or acne-prone skin. The Calendula (scent-free) variant is a good option for very sensitive skin or babies over the recommended age.
Because each batch is handmade in small quantities on the farm, not mass produced. Natural variation in the goat's milk and honey colour affects the final look, but every bar is still made to the same recipe and quality.
Yes. The packaging is home compostable, not just recyclable. There are no plastic bottles needed since it replaces liquid soap and shampoo, and the wrapping can go straight into your compost once you're done with it.

Many customers do, though every child's skin is different. The Calendula (scent-free) variant is the gentlest option for young or sensitive skin. As with any new product, patch test first if your child has known skin sensitivities.
