But why goats milk soap? What are the benefits? Here comes the science bit!

A few biologically obscure names, but stay with me! Goats Milk soap has been growing in popularity because of its potential skin benefits.

Goats Milk itself is rich in vitamin A which has been shown to have anti-ageing properties. It Is also rich in fatty acids and cholesterol, which make up a large part of the skin membrane. When a soap lacks these minerals, our skin can be left dry or irritated. When we include these in a soap its the opposite!

Finally, goats milk contains lactic acid, an AHA, known to promote collagen, blood flow, exfoliate the skin and improve the appearance of surface lines. Lactic acid is also a gentle cleanser and will help remove the top layer of dead skin cells.

So basically, goats milk soap is a gentle cleanser that supports a healthy membrane, is a natural exfoliant, helps improve dry skin, may help improve irritated or inflamed skin, and could potentially have anti-ageing properties.
