Krampusnacht Goat Milk Soap - Merlot Wine, Autumn Spices, Citrus, Figs, and Bonfire Smoke

Krampusnacht Goat Milk Soap

Merlot Wine, Autumn Spices, Citrus, Figs, and Bonfire Smoke

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, and so is everyone’s favorite holiday demon. Our Krampusnacht goat milk soap is inspired by the dark folklore of the Krampus, the horned companion to Saint Nicholas in ancient German folklore. Our Krampus soap captures the wild spirit of winter nights with a striking blend of merlot wine, autumn spices, ripe figs, zesty citrus, and bonfire smoke. Festive and fearsome, our Krampusnacht goat milk soap is a bold, smoky reminder that some holiday fantasies aren't made of fairies of sugarplums.

What Is the Krampus?

In recent years, the Krampus has become a frequent presence in holiday culture, serving as a reminder that not every Christmas story is wrapped in tinsel and cheer. This ancient Germanic figure, the shadow to Saint Nicholas, serves as a warning to children who stray from good behavior. While Saint Nick offered gifts, Krampus brought punishment, wielding a bundle of reeds and a woven basket to carry off misbehaving children. As an antidote to relentless holiday cheer, the Krampus reminds us that darkness is never far from the light.

The Krampus is often seen as the Mr. Hyde to Saint Nicholas’s Dr. Jekyll, or the bad cop to Saint Nicholas' good cop. Horned, draped in furs, and wild-eyed, he stalks the cold streets on December 5th, Krampusnacht, the night before Saint Nicholas Day, seeking out those who fall short of virtue. Yet he may be even stranger and older still, a form of the ancient Wild Man, a figure representing untamed nature and wildness, lurking on the periphery of society.

FAQ

• Is this a good stocking stuffer? Yes! The 4 oz bar fits in a stocking or a shoe set out on December 5, and it carries the full Krampus scent at a stocking-stuffer price.
• What does it smell like in the shower? A deep merlot with citrus and fig, backed by warm clove and cinnamon with just a hint of smoke.
• How is your goat milk soap different from commercial bar soap? Goat milk and plant oils make a creamier, more natural lather than commercial soap, without the use of SLS (sodium laurel sulfate). Plus, goat milk matches the pH balance of our skin, making it a more balanced option.
• Will the Krampus abduct me if I use it? Depends, did you give to Oxfam this year?
