How Zum Bar Goat's Milk Soap is Made


How Zum Bar Goat’s Milk Soap is Made:

From the trippy, multicolored swirls that make you feel like you’re staring into a kaleidoscope to the iconic wavy shape and aroma you can identify an aisle away, Zum Bar Soap is an aromatherapy enthusiast’s dream come true. But have you ever wondered how it’s made? Each and every bar is crafted lovingly by hand in the Zum Factory in Kansas City, using pure, organic ingredients and time-tested techniques. Read on to learn more, from the Zum soap ingredients to the pouring, swirling, and cutting process we use to deliver you our unique and amazing goat milk soap collection.

Ingredients:

Like a drummer must painstakingly select a kit that both sounds great and feels just right, we select our ingredients to mingle perfectly with each other, creating a harmonious mixture. From the aromatic essential oils to moisturizing vegetable oils, the product you get is the result of our countless hours of studio time. 

Zum soap ingredients are designed to create natural harmony. The creamy, dreamy goat milk from healthy goats contains capric, caprylic, and caproic acids, plus naturally occurring triglycerides (good fatty acids) which have a pH similar to your own skin. The result is a soft, sweet-smelling goat soap symphony you’ll want to keep on repeat.

Process:

Cold-processed soap is the greatest way to allow the natural ingredients to come together without unnecessary meddling. Our technique requires no extra heating or chemical aids for saponification, relying solely on the heat of the natural reaction between oils (no lard) and lye. Our process preserves the integrity of the ingredients. We keep the naturally occurring glycerin, which is a major moisturizer, while commercial soap companies sell it as a profitable by-product. 


For the encore, we add extra oils, leaving you with a super moisturizing bar of soap! Our Zum bar soap recipe isn’t all oils and glycerides and fragrance, though. It’s also about a passion for everything we do, and you can feel the notes of love hand-poured into each and every bar. Yes, you could say that love is one of the official Zum soap ingredients, but you didn’t need us to tell you that.

Pouring & Swirling:

Once the ingredients have had time to do their thing, our soap makers step in to bring it all together. A dash of mineral pigment, a pinch of organic herbs, some steady stirring by hand and voila! The soap is almost there! We pour and swirl like we're high on life, ensuring each batch of soap is perfect and oh-so-appealing.

Cutting:

After chillin' for no less than 24 hours, the finished product has one last leg of the tour. With the aid of a custom rig, we cut slabs into bars and bricks, adding our signature wave, assuring every single Zum Bar looks glamorous enough to make "the cut" to be your shower-singin partner, enhanced by other Zum body products.
