Is it me or are goats showing up everywhere these days? Last week, a horse trailer full of goats was released for the week in a fenced plot of land in my neighborhood to help mitigate fire danger and curb unruly weeds! The herd was even accompanied by an on-site goat herder and her rambunctious sheep dog.

There is also the goat yoga phe-nom currently in vogue in studios across the country where a goat wanders around the class and participates in various poses. I am actually waiting to hear of “bring your goat to work day.” Coloradoans love this stuff! And of course, there is goat’s milk soap and other goat milk based beauty products – the reason for this blog!
Benefits of Goat Milk Soap
I first experienced the benefits of goat milk soap when trying a bar sourced from a family ranch outside of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. “Ranch made” anything catches my interest, and throw in a goat and I am hooked! What I initially found most beneficial in goat soap was it's almost immediate impact on dry winter skin. It took me a few days to equate my recent soft skin to the new bar of soap in my shower.
With no other variable to consider, I immediately dug out the soap’s packaging from the week’s trash (not necessarily proud of) to read the label. I was convinced goat’s milk was the trigger, and have since insisted on using it in my daily beauty routine! With all kinds of goat milk personal care products on the market, I can soak, bathe, rinse and repeat daily!
How Goat Milk Soap Moisturizes Your Skin
Why does goat’s milk soap make my skin feel and look great, especially in comparison to cow’s milk based soap? First, the protein and triglycerides found in milk make these soaps highly effective moisturizers. However, cow’s milk soap can cause acid to form in the body whereas goat’s milk, with a pH level similar to ours, is a much better skincare solution. A balanced pH is especially important for those experiencing breakouts attributed to hormones.
