No.28 Trailblazer Goat Milk Soap was created for people who feel most at home outside. Inspired by the trails, woodlands, and chaparral surrounding Ojai, this BESPOKE bar combines Cedarwood, Vetiver, Fir, Citronella, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, and other botanical essential oils in a distinctive forest-inspired cleansing blend.
Fresh goat milk, almond, avocado, sunflower, and carrot seed oils complement Bogue's broader plant-oil-and-butter base, creating a creamy lather for washing away trail dust, sweat, and everyday outdoor buildup.
Trailblazer also gives back to the landscape that inspired it. Bogue donates a portion of Trailblazer sales to the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy, supporting the protection and restoration of the open spaces that make the Ojai Valley special.
It's a soap with a clear purpose: get outside, come home clean, and help care for the places worth exploring.
Trailblazer was formulated around the particular character of life outdoors: dry trails, mountain air, dusty boots, warm afternoons, and the satisfying shower that follows a day of movement.
Its essential-oil blend is designed to evoke the outdoors without relying on a synthetic forest fragrance. Cedarwood provides familiar dry wood notes, while Vetiver adds a deeper, root-like earthiness. Fir introduces evergreen freshness, and Citronella, Eucalyptus, and Tea Tree bring brighter herbal layers.
The result is a woodsy, green, earthy aromatic composition that feels connected to real botanical materials rather than an imitation of the forest.
Cedarwood essential oil gives Trailblazer its recognizable woody foundation. Its dry, warm aromatic character recalls the timber, bark, and sun-warmed wood associated with outdoor landscapes.
Vetiver brings a different dimension. Distilled from the roots of a grass, Vetiver essential oil has a deep, earthy aroma that provides a natural contrast to the fresher botanical notes.
Fir, Eucalyptus, Citronella, and Tea Tree complete the composition with evergreen, crisp, and herbal accents. Together, the essential oils move between the brightness of forest greenery and the darker warmth of roots and wood.
We use pure essential oils rather than synthetic fragrance oils to build Trailblazer's aromatic character. Learn more about that distinction in our Botanical Journal article, Essential Oils vs. Fragrance Oils in Soap.
Hiking and camping create their own cleansing demands. Sweat mixes with trail dust, sunscreen, natural skin oils, and whatever else the day leaves behind.
Trailblazer was developed for that moment when you return from the outdoors and want a thorough, comfortable wash.
Its creamy lather helps remove everyday surface buildup without turning the experience into an aggressively abrasive scrub. Whether you've been walking a dusty trail, cycling, gardening, or setting up camp, the goal is effective cleansing followed by a comfortable skin feel.
That's an important difference between Trailblazer and a soap designed primarily around exfoliation. No.28 is about forest aromatics, purposeful botanical formulation, and cleansing after outdoor activity rather than physically scrubbing away layers of skin.
Time outdoors can mean exposure to wind, dry air, dust, heat, and repeated washing. The finished soap's cleansing character matters just as much as its aroma.
Trailblazer incorporates almond, avocado, sunflower, and carrot seed oils within Bogue's broader botanical formulation.
These ingredients contribute different fatty-acid characteristics to the soapmaking process, helping shape the lather and finished bar. Their value comes from how they work within the complete cold-process formula rather than assuming that a rinse-off soap behaves like a leave-on facial oil.
That formulation approach is especially appropriate for a bar designed around active outdoor routines: substantial cleansing, creamy lather, and an after-feel that doesn't make excessive dryness the objective.
Fresh goat milk gives Trailblazer an important dimension beyond its forest-inspired essential oils. Combined with Bogue's plant oils and butters, it contributes to the creamy, substantial lather that defines the finished bar.
Goat milk naturally contains fats, proteins, sugars, and lactic acid, but a cold-process soap is not the same as a leave-on lactic-acid treatment. Its performance depends on the chemistry and balance of the complete formulation.
For people who shower frequently after exercise, hiking, outdoor work, or travel, a barrier-conscious cleansing routine means paying attention to how skin feels after washing.
Trailblazer is designed to cleanse away accumulated sweat and surface residue without making an excessively tight or stripped sensation the goal.
Our guide to the benefits of goat milk soap explains why we consider the complete soap formula—not goat milk alone—when developing our bars.
Trailblazer's connection to the landscape goes beyond its Cedarwood and Vetiver aroma. The mountains, trails, woodlands, and chaparral around Ojai are part of the everyday environment that inspired this formula.
For Bogue, making an outdoor soap also means recognizing the importance of protecting the places where outdoor life happens.
A portion of sales from No.28 Trailblazer supports the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy (OVLC).
The Conservancy works to protect and restore the Ojai Valley's natural landscapes, including its open spaces, wildlife habitat, watersheds, and public trails. Its conservation and stewardship work helps preserve the character of the valley for future generations.
This connection gives Trailblazer a purpose beyond the shower. The landscapes that inspire its botanical character are also landscapes Bogue helps support through sales of the soap.
It's a practical expression of place-based craftsmanship: make something inspired by the land, and give something back to its care.
Outdoor recreation depends on more than beautiful scenery. Trails require maintenance, wildlife needs connected habitat, and natural landscapes benefit from ongoing protection and restoration.
In Ojai, those aren't abstract environmental ideas. They're part of the valley's everyday relationship with its mountains, creeks, oak woodlands, and open spaces.
Trailblazer reflects that connection through both its formulation and Bogue's contribution to the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy.
For customers who value the outdoors, choosing No.28 is also a way to support a local organization working to protect the landscape behind the soap's inspiration.
One of the pleasures of a long day outside is the transition back home: setting down the pack, taking off dusty shoes, and washing away the trail.
Trailblazer brings the aroma of Cedarwood, Vetiver, Fir, and green botanical essential oils into that moment.
Its woodsy character provides a sensory connection to the outdoors even after the hike is over, while the creamy goat milk lather handles the practical work of cleansing.
This is the idea behind nature-inspired sensory body care: botanical aroma and everyday cleansing coming together in a familiar, purposeful ritual.
Unlike Surf Rider's cooling Peppermint experience after summer heat and water activities, Trailblazer emphasizes forest aromatics, earthy grounding notes, and the connection between outdoor recreation and land stewardship.
It belongs in the shower after the hike, at the cabin, or at home after an ordinary day spent working outside.
Trailblazer reflects Bogue's approach to purpose-built soapmaking. The aromatic composition, botanical oils, fresh goat milk, and finished cleansing character are considered together around how the bar will actually be used.
Made in small cold-process batches, No.28 connects practical formulation experience with the landscapes surrounding the Bogue soap bench.
It is not simply a generic goat milk bar with an outdoor-themed scent. It has a specific aromatic identity, a clear place in an active cleansing routine, and a conservation connection rooted in the valley that inspired it.
No.28 Trailblazer Goat Milk Soap combines Cedarwood, Vetiver, Fir, Citronella, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, fresh goat milk, and conditioning botanical oils in a forest-inspired cleansing bar for life outdoors.
From dusty hiking trails to everyday adventures, Trailblazer brings the character of the Ojai landscape into the shower—and through Bogue's support of the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy, helps give something back to the places that make those adventures possible.
