Goat Milk Soap Facts
Article by Susan Katchur
Most people do not understand or are unaware of goat milk soap and its benefits. Day after day many people continue to use the same commercial soaps that are too harsh for their skin. They do not realize that there is a handcrafted natural soap alternative that could be much better for their skin. Handcrafted natural goat milk soaps are available in bar and liquid forms.
Goat milk soaps are good for just about any skin type. Do you have dry skin? Some people with dry skin suffer with continual scaling and dryness causing them to itch while maintaining an overall uncomfortable feeling. Goat milk soaps can help dry skin sufferers. These handcrafted natural soaps are super mild, gentle and very moisturizing. Do you have oily skin, blemishes or acne? Since goat milk soap is super mild it doesn’t irritate blemishes or acne but, instead, gently cleanses. Most commercial soaps and toners are too harsh and end up irritating blemishes and acne making it worse. This handcrafted natural soap is sold to a lot of acne sufferers and they have great success with it!
Goat milk soap is so mild and gentle it can, even, be used on the face. Research has shown that most commercial soaps are not buffered. This means that the pH of the commercial soaps are so far from the pH of the skin that it takes an average of two hours, after being exposed to these soaps, for the skin to return to its normal pH level. Goat milk is a buffer. This means it has a pH very close to that of human skin, so when you use soap with a high percentage of goat milk the pH of your skin doesn’t change very much. Your skin doesn’t take all of that time to recover. Some people have avoided using all soaps on their face because the facial skin is thin and very sensitive, but goat milk soaps can finally offer an alternative to those harsh commercial soaps, even those that are specifically advertised as face products.
Commercial soaps can leave a soapy build-up around the tub or shower. They can leave a mushy mess for you to clean. This is not the case with goat milk soaps. This soap lasts much longer than regular commercial soaps, using a well-drained soap dish. The longevity of this soap is, also, dependant upon the ingredients and formula used by the soap maker. Some goat milk soaps may turn soft and only last a couple of weeks while others will last much longer. The extra care and boost of ingredients put into goat milk soap, by the soap maker, is proof of a high quality product that lasts long.
These handcrafted soaps are offered with fragrances derived from natural extracts or some have no fragrance at all. Some fragrances include: Lavender, Peppy Citrus, Orange Tree, Peppermint Coffee, Aloe & Oats and more. There is an unscented soap called Au Natural. These soaps offer distinct characteristics and are good for almost any skin care needs.
Goat milk soaps are, also, available in “Seconds.” Seconds are the same exact bar soaps as the regular soaps, offering the same skin care benefits, but they have minor flaws. Seconds bar soaps have slight imperfections; shaved edges, shop worn, torn label, etc… Using Seconds offers a money saving alternative.
Handcrafted natural goat milk soaps are available in bar and liquid forms. Whether it’s dry skin, acne, sensitive skin, or more, a knowledgeable soap maker knows how to combine specific ingredients to provide soaps that offer multiple benefits for skin. These natural soaps are becoming more popular everyday!
