I've written on this topic before - but we have so many new guests and members to this Blog as well as our new website: www.magicmoon.com, that I thought I would tell you again about the natural wonders of Goat's Milk.
Some people still have never heard of having Goat's milk in their soap and can't imagine why it would be amazing for your skin. We get asked constantly, why we insist on putting it into every product that we create. What's the BIG deal?
Well, grab a cup of tea, put your feet up and read for the next 5 minutes -
and you'll never have to ask that question again!
Why do we use Goat's Milk in our products?The inclusion of Goat Milk to our Cold Processed Goat's Milk soaps provide additional properties that are good for the skin as well as hair, because of its minerals and hydrating properties.
- Milk contains essential proteins, amino acids, and vitamin A that nourish skin.
- Goat's Milk is rich in beta-hydroxyl acids that act as natural skin conditioners.
- Another important nutrient supplied by the goat's milk is lactic acid, which helps to gently clean and soften skin. Lactic acid also stimulates skin cell renewal.
- Modern laboratories know why milk worked wonders for peoples skin in the past. Goats milk has natural alpha-hydroxyl acid, a natural substance that dissolves the glue holding dead skin cells to your skin.
- It helps reduce skin darkening brought about by the wear and tear of aging.
- Goat's Milk has been proven to cleanse skin down to its deepest layers.
Goats milk is naturally ultra-moisturizing. Goats milk soap contains capric, caprylic and capronic acids and natural occurring triglycerides. Otherwise known as good fats. The result is a pH level that is good for healthy skin, while commercial soap can dry out the skin to the point at which it feels taut and itchy.
The benefits of goats milk are legendary and has been used
for centuries as a luxurious beauty aid.
Why put Goat's Milk in Soap, you ask? Read on - You'll be amazed!
For Centuries, the benefits of bathing in Goat's milk have been known for its nutritional,
healing, and moisturizing qualities. Goat's milk is easily absorbed into the skin,
bringing with it moisturizing and restorative proteins, vitamins and minerals.
Cosmetic chemists refer to goat's milk as "nature's liposomes".

The Vitamin and Mineral makeup of pure fresh Goat's Milk:
- The Capric and Caprylic Acid found in Goat's Milk helps reduce the alkalinity of the soap, which aids in maintaining the slightly acid condition which healthy skin generates to prevent bacterial invasion.
- Caprylic acid is an anti-fungal, as well as exhibiting a high fungicidal activity against yeasts, especially Candida Albicans.
- Goat's milk is high in protein and triglyceride content making it an excellent natural moisturizer.
- It contains vitamin A, B6, B12 and E as well as Beta-Casein which all help with to hydrate and nourish dry skin.
- Vitamin A contains retinoids and is responsible for normal skin cell 'turnover' at a molecular level. What does that mean for you? Smoother, more youthful skin, combating wrinkles, free radicals and premature aging of the skin.
- One of the most significant benefits of Vitamin B6 is that it helps in maintaining good condition of human skin. It helps in treating a number of skin problems including eczema, dandruff, acne, hair loss and dry skin. More than that, it helps in treating serious skin diseases like melanoma and psoriasis.

- Vitamin B-12 has been known for many years to help improve skin's condition from such ailments as eczema. Will it CURE it? We make absolutely no claims to that in our products, but I will tell you that it greatly improved my late husband's skin for the 8 years that he used it and he had suffered with Eczema since childhood.
- Beta-Casein - supplies amino acids; carbohydrates; and two inorganic elements, calcium and phosphorus to your skin. Moisturizes and protects epidermal and dermal skin layers without adding excess oils.
- Goat's milk is a natural emollient. Goat's milk makes soap gentle and especially kind to sensitive skin.
OK- so there it is. I probably got more technical that you were hoping - but I could go on and on about the skin benefits of pure fresh Goat's Milk. Please post your questions and comments or you can email us at: magicmoonsoap@gmail.com

I've always had difficulty with using soaps on my sensitive skin for the reasons you mentioned: it left my skin dry and taut, and it felt sticky after washing. So I tended to avoid soaps and washed with shampoo in the shower.
Your soaps have SUCH luxurious lather - I guess that's the goat's milk doing its thing! My skin feels GOOD after using MagicMoonSoap! It's so nice to get clean and feel good afterward!
