We love goats & we treat them well!

Our skincare products are made using fresh goat’s milk from local goat farmers.

The goats we know are rather eccentric – but we’re okay with that, because their milk is just so moisturizing!

Canus uses fresh goat’s milk collected from Quebec farmers before transforming it and packaging the finished products in Quebec and Ontario, which makes it one of the few entirely Canadian soap manufacturers. As its Caprina brand turns 20, this family-owned company is very proud to see Caprina’s soap bars rank fifth among the best-selling ones in the country. Moreover, people will notice the line’s new colours not only here, but abroad, because nowadays, the Caprina goat can be seen smiling all over the world. Its products have gained fans across America, Europe and Asia, where they are sold in big-box stores, drugstores and specialty shops.

All our suppliers of goat’s milk are registered at the Union des producteurs agricoles (UPA). Our suppliers respect strict norms in order to ensure that goats are treated appropriately. All of our goats have access to outdoor installations.

What are the benefits and virtues of fresh goat’s milk?

The benefits and virtues of fresh goat’s milk have been known since the beginning of time. Man has known the benefits of goat’s milk for at least 10,000 years. Legend has it Cleopatra took a milk bath every day. Still wondering about the secret behind her great beauty?

Why choose fresh goat milk versus powdered goat milk?

The reason is simple, science. When you use powdered goat milk you lose all the benefits and nutrients that are contained in FRESH goat milk. Fresh goat milk is full of essential nutrients and vitamins that nourish and moisturize dry skin providing a deep and extended hydration.

All Caprina goat milk soap products are made following a traditional soap-making process, using fresh goat’s milk. Rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and triglycerides, it cleanses the skin without drying it or altering its natural moisture barrier. Finished products are not tested on animals, the Caprina product range is phosphate-free and paraben-free.
