Raw Goats Milk sOAP - HANDMADE FROM OUR FARM IN surrey
HEalthy skin
Goat milk is rich in fatty acids and cholesterol, which make up a large portion of the skin membrane. A lack of these components in the skin can lead to dryness and irritation. Furthermore, the milk is a good source of vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin shown to have anti-aging properties. Finally, it’s a good source of selenium, a mineral shown to support a healthy skin membrane. It may even improve psoriasis symptoms like dry skin.
Microbiome
Goat milk soap may support a healthy skin microbiome — the collection of healthy bacteria on your skin’s surface. Due to its gentle dirt-removing properties, it doesn’t strip your skin’s natural lipids or healthy bacteria. Maintaining your skin’s microbiome improves its barrier against pathogens, potentially preventing various skin disorders like acne and eczema.
Great for dry skin
Dry skin, known as xerosis, is a condition caused by low water levels in the skin.
People with certain dry skin conditions, namely psoriasis and eczema, often have lower levels of lipids, such as cholesterol, ceramides, and fatty acids, in the skin
To improve dry skin, the lipid barrier must be restored and rehydrated. Goat milk soap’s high cholesterol and fatty acid levels may replace missing fats while providing moisture to allow for better water retention
exfoliate
Goats milk contains lactic acid which is known as one of the gentlest alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) making it suitable for those with sensitive skin. AHAs are known to help exfoliate the skin leaving new cells that are smoother. Goat milk soap boasts high amounts of fats, particularly caprylic acid, allowing for gentle removal of dirt and debris without removing the skin’s natural fatty acid.
