The Benefits of Goats' and Ewes' Milk Soap

Goats' milk soaps are not a new phenomenon. They can be traced back to the Ancient Greeks, who reaped the advantages of creamy soap on their skin. Here are a few scientific facts:

• Full of alpha hydroxy acids such as lactic acid, for gentle exfoliation of dead skin cells;

• High in B group vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, B6, and B12 -the building blocks to good skin health;

• High in vitamin A which is proven to have anti-aging and reparative properties;

• High in vitamin C for bright, refreshed skin;

• High in vitamin D for softer skin with reduced lines and wrinkles;

• High in selenium which supports the skin's natural membrane barrier;

• Traces of zinc, copper, and iron for healthy skin appearance;

• Natural fatty acids and oils that smooth and nourish the skin, creating suppleness;

• Similar to our own skin's PH level, so it does not dry out skin or strip it of important natural bacteria and oils;

• It is creamy. Instead of water in our recipe, we use milk!... This helps to patch cracks in the surface of our skin, helping to maintain a healthy, and supple barrier to external toxins;

• Naturally antibacterial, anti-fungal, with anti-inflammatory properties so ideal for acne-prone skin or those with eczema;

• Hypoallergenic properties.

1) Are your products tested on animals? 

Absolutely not! All our guinea pigs are humans! Our recipe has been tested over many years, and we hold a Cosmetic Product Safety Report and relevant insurances for 

soap production for human use.

2) Is the soap vegetarian?

It is a common misnomer to presume a milk soap is not vegetarian, when in fact, it is! We use no animal meat fats in the production - just the fats from the milk and oils!

3) Are the soap's colour, and fragrance-free?

Our naked and natural range is completely colour, and fragrance-free, therefore, suitable for the most 

sensitive skins.

4) Do your soaps contain Sodium Laurel Sulphate and Parabens?

No artificial surfactants or preservatives are to be found anywhere!

5) Are the soaps smelly like goats' milk?

Thankfully not! During the production process, the smells dissipate to create that lovely soap smell 

we all know and love.

6) What about animal ethics and welfare?

Our goats are outdoor reared and grass-fed where possible. In the Scottish winter months, they are housed if necessary, particularly for kidding (goats hate the rain!). They are fed and managed according to their natural animal manifestations - and allowed to just be themselves! Goats are actually very smart and inquisitive animals, and we love them to exhibit what nature intended! We are just naturally harnessing the goodness of their milk, whilst maintaining the integrity of their behaviours.
