WHY GOAT MILK?
You may wonder why someone would want to use goat milk in skincare. Historically milk has been used for many centuries as a natural beauty product. It is believed that Cleopatra bathed in milk to improve the look and texture of her skin. Whether those legends are reliable or not, here are a few more modern reasons to consider using goat milk soap and lotion:
-
Milk is packed with wonderful nutrients, including proteins, fats, and vitamins. These act as natural moisturizers and can help restore and maintain moisture balance.
-
The lactic acid in milk helps retain moisture, and also works as a gentle exfoliator.
-
Milk contains alpha hydroxy acids. These can help unclog pores and prevent acne breakouts. Milk also has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.
-
Milk is rich in antioxidants like vitamin A and vitamin D. Collagen formation is stimulated by vitamin A, which promotes even skin texture.
-
If your skin is irritated or inflamed, milk can offer much needed relief.
-
Fresh milk has a higher nutrient content than older, more processed milk.
