ITS DEEP MOISTURIZING PROPERTIESGoat milk is rich in fat molecules (fatty acids), proteins, and it naturally contains glycerin which boosts its moisturizing qualities. It’s a natural emollient, and it gets quickly absorbed by the skin, creating a barrier that keeps it protected and smooth.
Additionally, goat milk soap’s creamy texture helps it reach the in-between cell cracks and gaps easily, providing that luscious, soft feel. Americans spend millions of dollars on lotions, creams, and moisturizers each year to combat dry skin, and as the temperatures dip and winter approaches, our skin becomes especially parched. The good news is that lactic, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) found in goat milk, has been shown to increase the moisture levels in the skin. Like other AHAs, lactic acid is a known humectant.

Goat milk soap is so gentle that even people with sensitive skin can take advantage of all its benefits without any of the consequences of using regular soap. In addition to moisturizing and plumping the skin, AHAs are known as powerful exfoliants that can deeply penetrate the skin, improving the appearance of acne, age spots, and scars, But while some AHAs, like the ones found in chemical peels, can leave the skin red and irritated, lactic acid is as gentle as it is effective.
Lactic acid dissolves the connections between skin cells to make it easier to wash them away. It also promotes cell renewal, ensuring that any dead or damaged cells are replaced with new, healthy ones. And the best part? Lactic acid is super gentle on the skin and has been found to be less irritating and cause fewer complaints than other AHAs—or even some over-the-counter exfoliating washes that can do more harm than good.

If you use it regularly, goat milk soap can offer relief for skin inflammation.
