Sheep Milk Ultra-Nourishing Soap Bar
Sheep milk's combined high butterfat and protein content produces a noticeably denser, more lotion-like lather than any of the book's other melt-and-pour soaps, a genuinely different bar-soap experience from the lighter Goat or Oat Milk versions.

Kitchen note
Notice the lather quality specifically, the dense, almost creamy lather this bar produces is a genuine sensory signature of sheep milk's high fat and protein content, not a formulation fluke.
