Goat's Milk Skin Benefits and Why We Use It
Why is There Goat’s Milk in Zum Bars?
Why do we use goat’s milk in Zum Bar Soap? The answer is a little more complex than you might think. Beyond our love for happy goats (though, admittedly, that was a factor!), goat's milk is a powerhouse ingredient naturally balanced for the skin, and naturally homogenized. It's truly a secret weapon for healthy, happy skin, and when you understand the goat milk benefits, you’ll see why it's a core ingredient in our beloved Zum Bars. Now we know what you’re thinking, with all this talk about animals: Is Zum ethical? Absolutely. We love goats a whole lot, so all of our goat’s milk products are cruelty-free, made with milk from well-fed, happy-go-lucky goats.
The Goat Milk Skin Benefits You Need to Know
So, is goat milk good for your skin? The resounding answer is yes! Here's a deeper dive into the incredible ways goat milk can transform your skin, making our Zum Bars a superior choice for your daily routine:
Helps to maintain your skins natural pH level and provide hydration
We prefer goat’s milk because it’s probably the hands-down best mix of good-for-you and good-for-nature. Unlike commercial soap, goat's milk soap contains capric, caprylic, and caproic acids, plus naturally occurring triglycerides, otherwise known as good fats. These triglycerides in goat's milk are key to helping keep your skin's oils in balance and won’t dry it out.
Goat's milk has a pH level that's incredibly close to healthy human hair and skin. Commercial soaps often contain harsh additives that can throw your skin’s natural balance off-center, leading to dryness, tightness, and even overly oily skin or clogged pores. With Zum Bar Soap, you get a harmonious cleanse that respects your skin's natural state.
Rich in Nourishing Vitamins and Minerals
Think of goat's milk as food for your skin. It’s jam-packed with essential vitamins (an alphabet soup of ‘em, including A, B, C, D, and E) and vital minerals and proteins. Goat's milk soap shares this wealth, helping to maintain your skin’s balance of nutrients. These vitamins contribute to cell regeneration, protect against environmental stressors, and promote overall skin health, truly enhancing the goat milk skin benefits.
Gentle Exfoliation for Smoother Skin
Goat’s milk naturally and gently exfoliates thanks to lactic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). It helps to clear away surface dead skin cells and impurities without stripping the moisture you want and need. This gentle action reveals brighter, smoother skin without irritation, making it ideal even for sensitive skin types.
Soothing and Calming Properties
In fact, goat’s milk is so soothing to your skin, it’s often recommended for those with sensitive or irritated skin conditions. Its natural anti-inflammatory properties can help calm redness and discomfort, leaving your skin feeling soft and comforted.
H ow Zum Bar Soap Maximizes Goat Milk's Benefits
Not to go on and on (but we will anyway), Zum Bar Goat's Milk Soap is karmically created using a cold-processed method. This means we do not add extra heat during the making process, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the goat's milk and other beneficial ingredients. Our formula includes food-grade olive, coconut, palm, and castor oils, along with essential oils.
In the process of saponification, reactions among all these ingredients produce the soap and glycerin, a natural byproduct your skin will adore. Many big soap companies remove the glycerin and sell it for extra profit, but not us! After all, it's called glycerin, not glycer-out. Glycerin is another devoted fan of your skin, keeping it balanced by acting as a humectant to retain needed moisture. It can help to pull impurities from your pores, leaving skin clean, soft, and loving you back. This commitment to quality ensures you receive all the amazing goat milk skin benefits with every wash.
