Goat's Milk

Is there some magic ingredient in goat's milk that performs miracles for skin that is affected by eczema or psoriasis? There are those that say, yes, indeed, goat's milk does have almost magical properties when it comes to skin.

Cleopatra bathed in goat's milk in ancient Egypt, and goats are the oldest domesticated animal. Goats are bred for various purposes. Some goats are bred for meat, some are bred for their skin and others are bred for their milk. A goat that has been bred for milk production can produce as much as 465 gallons of milk each year. Goat's milk can be drunk fresh, but pasteurization is recommended to reduce bacteria.

Goat's milk is very closely related in make up to human milk - much more so than cow's milk - and goat's milk contains 20% less cholesterol than cow's milk. Most people lose their ability to digest cow's milk as they age past childhood. Some will even become lactose intolerant. Goat's milk contains much less lactose than cow's milk, so goat's milk could be the answer for those who have become lactose intolerant. There is only a very slight taste difference between cow's milk and goat's milk today.

But let's get back to the almost magical properties of goat's milk and healthy skin. Changing from drinking cow's milk to drinking goat's milk will produce benefits to skin that is affected by eczema or psoriasis in about two days' time. You will see almost immediate improvement.

Does goat's milk contain a magical skin ingredient? I don't know, but I do know that if you will try drinking goat's milk, you will be very pleasantly surprised!

When you use one of our bars of soap, you are nourishing your skin, which is the largest organ on your body. The lather is penetrating and will leave your skin silky smooth with a soft feel. If you have previously noticed "tight skin" from commercial soaps, you will enjoy the moisturizing benefits of goat's milk soap. Many people tell us they no longer need to use lotions because of regular use of our soaps.

Nutrients are retained because our soap is made in small, controllable batches through cold processing. Commercial soaps, commonly called beauty/deodorant/moisturizing bars, dry out skin and leave unhealthy chemical residues. There is a reason it is so cheap! Commercial soap contains petroleum products (irritating to people with sensitive skin), esters (known carcinogenics), alcohols (which dry your skin), low grade oils, waxes, fillers, detergents and preservatives. Your skin absorbs those chemicals just like when people use the medicated transdermal patches. Your body sees those chemicals as toxins and then tries to rid itself of them. If what comes in contact with your skin is absorbed into your body, don't you think you should be careful about what you put on it?

Commercial soaps also have the natural occuring glycerine stripped out of them to resell to you in the form of beauty bars and lotions. Milk also has alpha-hydroxy acids which break down the glue holding dead skin cells together. Alpha-hydroxy acid is well known for softening skin and leaving it rejuvenated for a younger appearance.

Goat's Milk Soap has a PH level similar to our skin, which helps protect the skin from invading bacteria and chemicals we come in contact with every day.

People who suffer from skin allergies, winter itchies, eczema, and dry skin are frequent users of goat's milk soap. While we can't tell you it will heal these conditions, we can tell you it will not further excerbate them.
