What makes handcrafted
goat milk soaps so great?
Essentially, it's the ingredients handcrafted
soaps lack, such as artificial hardners, detergents and chemical surfactants that strip the natural oils
from our skin and then for what is added.
Milk based soaps have recently been rediscovered, largely
due to the current research on milk proteins that is teaching consumers about the way skin benefits from contact with whey
protein and lactic acid. Lactic acid, a natural source of Alpha Hydroxy Acid helps smooth skin by gentle exfoliation,
and milk also contains Vitamins A and D, whose benefits include giving skin strength and suppleness. The PH of goat milk is very
close to the PH of human skin. This helps protect the acid mantle layer on our skin which in turn, protects our
skin from bacteria and harmful chemicals. The natural occuring glycerin in handcrafted soap helps to deliver the
nutrients of goat milk deep into the skin while acting as a humecant which draws moisture to our skin. Goat milk soap can
cleanse the skin down to its deepest layers while conditioning and protecting our skin.

Thanks to modern
science soapmakers can utilize the understanding of fatty acids and their effect on our skin. With this knowledge, a good
soapmaker will blend oils in specific combinations to make a soap that will be nourishing to the skin.
