If you’ve ever tried a natural handmade soap, you’ve probably noticed there’s a big difference from commodity big-brand soap. If you haven’t tried a natural soap, you’ll want to after hearing Hal Mayes, Chief Formulator and Master Soapmaker at Alabu Skin Care, explain what makes it so different and why it’s so much better for your skin. He’ll also reveal the benefits of goat milk soap, and why your skin will absolutely love it! Hal Mayes’ career as Chief Operating Officer & Chief Formulator of Alabu Skin Care was inspired at a very young age. His interest in goat milk soap sparked as a result of his mother, Maryclaire, who took great pride and care in teaching him the art of soap-making. From this art, Hal was able to master the science behind perfecting well-loved existing products and developing new ones. Hal has inherited the love for research from Maryclaire and regularly researches the latest technologies and advancements in the personal care industry, in addition to attending lectures from industry experts. From his research, he has developed a deep knowledge in the challenging area of goat milk soap formulation and production. Understanding the challenges that fresh goat milk production brings, Hal has also pioneered the Alabu Proprietary Manufacturing Process. This revolutionary process allows Alabu Skin Care to produce soap with a 25% farm-fresh goat milk content, a process that is nearly unheard of in an industry where nearly all goat milk soap is made from powdered or condensed milk.
