Why Goat Milk Soap? Milk based soaps have gained some popularity over the past few decades, largely due to research on milk that is teaching consumers about the way your skin benefits from milk used in soaps and other skin care products. Benefits such as: -Lactic acid which helps smooth skin by exfoliation -Vitamins A and D, whose benefits include giving skin strength and suppliness. -Alpha-hydroxy acids which break down the glue that holds dead skin cells together. Alpha-hydroxy acid is also well known for softening and rejuvenating skin, givig it a more youthful appearance. -Restorative vitamins, minerals, and proteins -Goat milk soap is gentle, even on very sensitive and delicate skin.
Another benefit of goat's milk soap or lotions, in particular, is that goat's milk has the closest PH to human skin. Skin has an "acid mantle" a protective shield produced by the skin's own oil glands, to ensure that the skin's proper PH balance is maintained. When an alkaline substance such as ingredients found in commercial soaps come into contact with the skin, the skins own proper balance is lost. The acid of the skin becomes neutralized, causing the skin to dry, tighten, and uncomfortable. Oil glands react to this over-alkalinity by secreting excess sebum or oil through the pores to try to re-balance the PH. This results in oily, pore-clogged skin, when the excess oil is exposed to air, it hardens and darkens, causing clogged pores and blackheads, or pores that close up completely which results in pimples. Nearby skin can become dry, flaky and damaged. Without a balanced acid mantle, skin is left exposed to the damaging effects of enviornmental and bacterial impurities. Correct PH balance helps skin to remain protected and healthy, so the skin cells can breathe as they should.
