Yuzu Goat Milk Soap
The name for this goat milk soap in my online store is Love Yuzu…aptly named…I love the scent!
Love Yuzu is a fragranced soap. Oh…how I so desire to scent this soap with pure yuzu essential oil. Alas…I cannot. Why? I would be looking at a 104% increase in cost, compared to yuzu fragrance oil. Big gulp!
What is yuzu? It is an ornamental fruit, similar to a cross between a mandarin and a lemon. Yuzu is used in Asian cooking as well as bath products.
From the scent of the yuzu fragrance oil, I pick up on the fruit aroma, but with a slight floral undertone, perhaps vanilla as well.
Love Yuzu is a good soap for combination skin. It will not particularly dry out mature skin, and it is not overly moisturizing for oily skin.
When purchasing products from Annie’s Goat Hill do not be shy about asking for a particular sample. If you have no idea what Yuzu smells like, or any other goat milk soap that I offer, or if you want to know how the soap will work with your skin, when placing an order ask for a sample. If I can provide a sample, I will slice a small piece off for you. You can ask for a sample via email: anniesgoathill@gmail.com, or by completing the special instructions field during the check out process.

I have never heard of this fruit or scent before. I always learn something here Mary!How did you come to hear of this and where does it come from? ( Inquiring minds want to know)
Hello, Kathy! Yuzu originates from China. Interesting enough, I read recently that people in the US are growing it as well (in certain climate zones). Southern California is one of those areas.
When will the Yuzu be ready to use-u? Sounds right up my alley. I smell an order in the making.
Alix, Yuzu isn’t a new soap. It is ready, cured, smells wonderful! Order in the making… 🙂
I’ve never heard of Yuzu.
But I love a citrus scent. Is Yuzu a citrus scent or just fruity?
