Theres many reasons that goat milk soap is so good for us. There are natural proteins and enzymes in goat milk that are nourishing and moisturizing for our skin. In fact goat milk contains the very effective moisturizer, capric-capryllic triglyceride. Goat’s milk is a natural emollient that helps soothe and moisturize the skin. It contains vitamins A, B6, B12 and E. Goat’s milk has 3 times more beta-casein than cow’s milk. Caseins are easily absorbed into the skin and allow for quick hydration of dry skin. The content of triglycerides, capric, caprylic and caproic acid helps balance the skin’s natural pH and promotes natural exfoliation of dry skin.
Goat milk soap has almost the same ph level as our own skin. Our skin tends to be more alkiline and goat milk is too. Other soaps will change the ph level of your skin and draw the moisture out of it. They are usually more acidic and rob your body of its own natural moisturizers. We weren't created with the idea of slathering ourselves in lotions everyday. But because of the harmful drying effects of the chemicals and preservatives in store bought soap, we are having to rely more and more on lotions and moisturizers to keep our skin hydrated. Our bodies are meant to produce our own natural body oils that are much much better for us than lotions full of chemicals. In fact after prolonged use of goat milk soap your skin should regain its natural ph level and you should be able to stop using moisturizers entirely and let your own body take care of it for you.
I use goat milk, olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, shea buter, vitamin E, and natural scents or essential oils as my main ingredients. I add a small amount of lye that allows the soap to saponify and keep it in a solid state. The lye neutrlizes after it forms the bonding process and becomes safe and harmless to your skin. Store bought soaps contain virtually no natural ingredients and have many harmful things in them. So when it comes to soap thats why I trust mother nature more than chemists.
