Glocester Greens and Goats Gourmet Greens and Goat Milk Soap

Goat milk has traditionally been recognized as a natural skin moisturizer and rejuvenator. It contains caprylic acid, which helps with the removal of dead skin cells. (It also helps lower the alkalinity.) When used in soap and other skin care products, goat milk helps ensure that the skin's proper pH balance is maintained. Soap that does not contain goat milk often has a high pH value, thereby, making the skin feel taut, dry, and uncomfortable after use. The correct pH makes soap more compatible with skin, helping skin remain protected, clean, and healthy in order for skin cells to breathe as they should.

Goat milk also contributes additional moisturizing cream to skin and hair cells. It is a natural source of alpha-hydroxy acid. Studies have suggested that these acids can rejuvenate skin. And, goat milk is naturally high in vitamins, minerals, and proteins that nourish the skin.

By using fresh, wholesome, natural ingredients, we are avoiding the harsh chemicals and fillers so often used in commercial products. Most "commercial" soaps today are not even real soap; they are synthetic detergents with a petroleum base. These detergents can strip the skin of its moisturizing body oils. Glycerin is normally produced when making soap. It acts as a humectant; attracting and preserving moisture in the skin. Manufacturers of mass-produced commercial soaps are known to remove the naturally occurring glycerin from their products to sell for financial gain.

Goat milk is more gently absorbed than cow's milk when used as a beverage. It stands to reason that it would also be gentle on the skin. Many of our customers tell us they have no allergic reactions to our products, especially the unscented versions.

Thus, the benefits of goat milk in skin care products are many, making these products extremely popular. History tells us that Cleopatra bathed in full tubs of goat milk to keep her skin beautiful. Cosmetic chemists call goat's milk "nature's liposomes" because it is so easily absorbed into the skin.
