The Wholesome Basket

Naturally, You will Feel the Difference and Your Body Will Thank You.


The Wholesome Basket is a family company, where we produce wonderfully luxurious natural handmade goatsmilk skin creams, soaps, natural deodorants, insect repellent, lemon skin toner, dead sea bath salts, lip balms, as well as gift baskets.  We began making our own natural goatsmilk soaps for our large family in 1999.  With the encouragement of our friends and family, The Wholesome Basket was born. 

Our products are made from scratch with the highest quality ingredients, such as rich base oils, essential oils and spices.  Skin creams are made from scratch from the finest natural oils and emollients.  They are individually scented and packaged by hand.  The soaps are also made from scratch, hand colored, scented, molded, wrapped and labeled right in our home workshop.  The end result is a product unsurpassed in moisturizing capabilities.  These products are skin balancing, very gentle and perfect to be used not only on special occasions, but every day.  We have a wide variety of scents, as well as unscented soaps and skin creams. 

Natural deodorants, lip balms, skin toners, insect repellents, dead sea bath salts and lotion sticks. Gift baskets are available in a range of sizes and prices. It's always fun to try something new and your skin will thank you!

Why Goatsmilk?

Goatsmilk have been used for thousands of years as a natural cleanser, skin softener and highly effective moisturizer.  It contains Caprylic Acid which reduces the alkalinity of the soap and cream.  The low pH helps to maintain the slightly acid mantle, which healthy skin generates to prevent bacterial invasion.  Many people have experienced nourishing skin relief from using goatsmilk.

Goatsmilk is highly tolerated both internally and externally by most people and absorbs easily into the skin, bringing with it restorative proteins, minerals and vitamins.  Natural glycerin, which attracts and holds moisture, is generated during the soapmaking process, giving it additional moisturizing benefits.  Mass marketers often remove glycerin to sell separately.  Several natural emolliants are also added to our already highly effective soaps and creams.
