What are the benefits of goat milk soap?

Unlike commercial soaps, soaps made from goats' milk does not contain harsh detergents or chemicals. Goat milk contains vitamin A, vitamin B3 (niacin), thiamin, vitamin B2 (riboflavin), and vitamin B5 (pantothenate). Its naturally occurring lactic acid helps cleanse skin of impurities. Also, the alpha hydroxy acids in goat milk soap breaks the bonds in dead skin cells, giving our soap a mildly exfoliating property. After washing with GOAT soap, your skin will be naturally clean and vibrant! GOAT soap is made from all-natural and organic ingredients, with no harmful chemicals or fragrance oils found in commercial soaps.

What is goat milk soap?

Goat milk soap is soap made from goat milk. In most soaps, lye is made by combining water and sodium hydroxide. Goat milk is rich in both saturated and unsaturated fats, so when substituting goat milk for water, the resulting soap is creamier, with moisturizing properties due to these fats.

Most soaps (or bath bars) are full of chemicals, synthetics, and fragrance oils that dry out your skin and leave you feeling stripped of natural oils. GOAT soap is made from all-natural and organic ingredients, with no harmful chemicals, so it is gentle on sensitive skin.

Overactive oil glands typically result in more pimples and acne, so this creates a vicious cycle.

If you believe in using the most natural, cruelty free and sustainably sourced products with recognizable ingredients, then GOAT Soap should be top of your list.

What’s In A Name?

We’ve all likely seen the lovely handcrafted, rough-hewn soaps at our local fair-trade market with the rich smells and package promises of being kind to our skin. Are they really that different from mass produced, store bought soap though? Do we get the same result with our budget pack of 10 that we do with the handmade soap?

Ultimately, it comes down to ingredients. Not all soaps are the same, some are not truly deserving of being called soap. Some are in fact closer to the detergent we use to clean our dishes. It’s at this point that it becomes clear how much ingredients matter. Harsh detergents designed to strip an oily cooking pan should not be used to cleanse the skin. If your favorite soap’s packaging refers to it as a ‘beauty bar’ or ‘cleansing bar’ likelihood is that it doesn’t meet the minimum requirements to be called soap. Meaning it could be a lot less kind to your skin than you first thought.

Regulations relating to what can be called ‘soap’ are controlled by The FDA (Food and Drug Administration). If this word is missing from your packaging, you may in fact be cleansing with detergent sold under another name.

Why Is Standard Soap So Bad For Our Skin?

Detergents or surfactants dry out and strip the skin by decreasing the surface tension of the water on our skin. This allows oil and water to mix easily and wash away. On skin, we need minimal surfactants when compared to a greasy plate, so it is better to choose a soap that doesn’t use harsh detergents. Most synthetic detergents are made from petrochemicals which is just another reason to avoid them.

In addition to detergents, there is an excessive number of chemical additives in most soaps:

Sodium, multiple varieties, essentially just salt and a lot of it. Very drying and irritating to skin. Used to stabilize and thicken soap.
Synthetic fragrances which can cause allergies, headaches, nausea, skin inflammation and more.
Preservatives and acids that cause skin inflammation and itching.
Titanium dioxide to make the soap whiter and brighter in appearance, also used in commercial house paints.

These are just a few of the ingredients explained in very simple terms. Our skin absorbs a huge percentage of what we put on it. So much so that medications can even be given via skin patch to the same effectiveness as oral medication. With this in mind, it begs the question - Why put these chemicals on our skin? We wouldn’t ingest them, so we shouldn’t use them on ourselves.

The Difference With Goats Milk Soap

GOAT Soap is made using the ancient method of saponification. GOAT Soap is made using cruelty free, organic goat milk. This combination mixed with other all natural ingredients brings you the purest soap possible.

We are honest about what goes into our product, no hidden ingredients. Our packaging states the ingredients in their entirety to give peace of mind. They include:

Shea butter
Cocoa butter
Coconut oil
Palm oil
Safflower oil
Castor oil
Olive oil
Pure essential oils for fragrance (Lavender, Lemongrass Citrus, Peppermint Tea Tree, Patchouli)

In a process we have perfected over 10 years, these ingredients are combined with lye (an alkali traditionally obtained by leaching wood ashes) to create our nourishing GOAT Soap. The mixture of oils with the goat milk creates a moisturizing, gentle soap that is safe enough to use on babies, the elderly or inflamed skin.

So How Does It Work?

Being devoid of detergents and synthetic, soap like ingredients doesn’t reduce GOAT Soap’s cleansing power. Goat milk is full of alpha-hydroxy acids that break down dead skin cells and allow them to shed. This means you don’t need harsh exfoliants or detergents to have wonderfully clean skin. The presence of essential vitamins A, B1, B6, B12, C, D and E encourages fresh new skin to appear plumper and brighter than ever.

Goat milk is also a natural emollient (moisturizer) that actually puts moisture back into the skin as you wash. Its PH is about as close to human skin as possible, meaning it helps restore the balance of our skin’s microbiome instead of interrupting it. The best part is that it is also naturally hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory meaning it is suitable for every age and skin type. It won’t just cleanse your skin, it will improve it.
