Why Goat Milk?
Why Goat Milk?
We heard about the benefits of goat milk soap and other products years ago. When we adopted our sons, one of the little guys suffered from eczema and dry skin. While we live in an arid desert and dry skin is normal, it was especially cumbersome for him.
Since we already had some goats on our little hobby farm, we decided to see what we could do to create some products that could help benefit him and the rest of us.
Well, here we are, years later, and we are still making products that we use daily, and we continue to offer those same products for you and your family to use.
Below is a compilation of some benefits that goat milk provides to our skin. (taken from multiple sources online)
Goat milk is rich in vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, which makes it a wonderful choice for anyone with sensitive skin and those seeking anti-aging properties.
Goat milk offers multiple benefits for the health of our skin, including gentle exfoliation, deep moisturization, and soothing irritation.
OK, How?
Gentle Exfoliation: Goat milk contains alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), like lactic acid, which help to gently remove dead skin cells, revealing brighter and smoother skin.
Moisturizing: The fatty acids and triglycerides in goat milk help to hydrate the skin and improve its natural barrier function, preventing moisture loss and keeping skin soft and supple.
Soothes Irritation: Goat milk has anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm and soothe irritated skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
Anti-Aging Properties: Goat milk contains vitamins and antioxidants that can promote collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Rich in Nutrients: Goat milk is packed with vitamins (A, B, C, D, and E) and minerals (selenium, magnesium, and potassium) that nourish and support healthy skin.
Balanced pH: Goat milk has a pH level similar to human skin, helping to maintain a healthy skin barrier and prevent moisture loss.
Sensitive Skin: Goat milk is generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin types due to its gentle and nourishing properties.
Potential for Acne Treatment: Goat milk's antibacterial and exfoliating properties may help to reduce acne breakouts and inflammation, not just on your face.
