Chivas Skin Care


Recently, Lauren Johanson came to our class to share her experience of being an entrepreneur. She's the co-founder of Chivas Skin Care, an organic handmade soap company. All of the products are made from fresh French Alpine goat milk, that highly moisturizes the skin. The brand is a benchmark to live up to for other companies; products are free of chemical preservatives,artificial colorants or mineral oils. She explained how goat milk has all the vital nutrients for our skin and triglycerides, and how goat's milk closely matches human pH level.

I got to try the Spearmint Goat Milk Soap. Amazing product! Lathers really good, for being a natural soap it foams a lot. My skin felt moisturized, I didn't have to put lotion on.

Ingredients: goat milk, palm oil, coconut oil, olive oil, soybean oil, sodium hydroxide, shea butter, spearmint essential oil, rosemary essential oil, eucalyptus essential oil, lavender essential oil, dried spearmint, rosemary extract.

Homemade Skincare: Lemon Refreshner Astringent


Lemon Refresher
6 drops of lemon essential oil
½ cup witch hazel
Combine ingredients in a storage container and shake well to blend. Use within 1-2 weeks.
Apply: using a cotton pad, apply approximately 1 tsp. to the face, neck, shoulders, as needed. Avoid eye area.


The Lemon Refresher Astringent felt very cooling and light. Although it contained oil, it helped balance out the oil on my face. It made the pores on my skin smaller from a couple of uses. Also, I used it during the day to help refresh my skin. The astringent wasn’t as irritating compared to others; it also helped improved the areas where I have eczema
