Consumers {myself included} are becoming more aware of the mass production chemically laden commercial body care products. Is it a ploy to save money and cut production costs – yes, likely. We are all looking for ways to save money- so can you blame them?
Unfortunately, these cost cutting measures are coming at an extreme cost – our health! Sadly, over the years, these chemical based products have gone from ‘personal care’ to ‘personally destructive’ cancer causing silent killers: from hormone disrupting phthalates, heavy metals, to toxic surfactants. Heck, I personally have not worn deodorant in almost 10 years – we are still friends right?
Today I’m sharing another gradual change we have been making over the years – can you say good bye commercial sodium laurel sulfate {that’s a mouth full, right?} it’s much easier to say ‘hello’ goats milk soap.
5 Reasons to Use Goat Milk Soap
Delays Signs of Aging – the high levels of alpha-hydroxy acid [naturally occurring} work with the skin rather than breaking it down or ‘burning’ ones skin. Alpha-dydroxy simply breaks down the dead skin cells leaving behind ‘new’, smoother, and more youthful cells. No chemical acids. No additives. Just nature doing it’s thing!
Anti-Infalamatory Properties– the fat molecules in goats milk soap acts as a moisturizer. Allowing the body to heal naturally soothing those damaged skin cells.
Essential Vitamin and Nutrient Rich– using goats milk soap is like singing the alphabet; A, D, C, B1, B6, B12, and E – wasn’t that fun?!? There have been many studies on the benefits of vitamin A reducing lines and wrinkles. Goats milk is also rich in selenium. Although, over the counter soaps may contain calcium, sodium, and iron – most of these elements are found in our water and therefore, aren’t really a benefit after all {they are simply fillers}.
Treats Acne – the antibacterial properties of goats milk soap have been found to delay micro organisms that cause pesky acne.
Dry Skin? No more – the cream in goats milk serves as a natural moisturizers in every wash. Out with the dead skin cells and in with the new.

Jenny – I love this post! I’m going to check out the website and order some. Do you use activated charcoal? Please do a post on it if you do – I’ve read about it but don’t know anyone who has actually used it. Thanks!
It is not something I use daily – but, I do keep it on handy mostly for allergic reactions and bug stings. My mom has used it to whiten her teeth and I have a friend who swears by it for clearing acne….so many uses in such a scary looking black powder. lol.
