Sensitive skin? You should try using natural goats milk soapMonday, 16 March 2015 | Admin Why handmade goats milk soap helps sensitive and eczema skin typesWe think our handmade natural goats milk soap is really special, and we'd encourage anyone with sensitive skin or eczema to give it a try.
Our completely natural soap formulation took years to perfect. We wanted a hard, long-lasting handmade bar with a rich, creamy lather which was highly moisturizing and skin-kind too. We’d be the first to admit that we’re perfectionists when it comes to our products, and so after years of research and experimenting with various natural ingredients we had that eureka moment! Our handmade soap was just right, and at last we had something that could be used everyday as a natural alternative to the chemical laden body washes.... The Natural Soapworks was born! Our natural handmade goats milk soap contains a blend of many botanical oils and butters, and these have been carefully balanced to produce the rich moisturising and foaming qualities we were looking for. We use a cold-process saponification manufacturing process and love the honest natural look of our soaps which are made in traditional handmade wooden moulds. We insist on only natural, ethical, cruelty-free ingredients so you'll never find a synthetic fragrance oil, colour, tallow or preservatives in any of our soaps. Each new natural soap batch is hand cut into bars, before being matured for at least 8 weeks so it hardens and becomes mild before it is presented for sale. Goats milk soap is more difficult to make than a typical handmade bar, since the milk affects the cold process saponification process. We use real goats milk from a local organic farm to make our handmade soaps since it contains proteins, amino acids and Vitamin A to nourish and soften the skin. You may read some articles on the internet that make claims about natural goats milk soap having the same pH as the skin. We’d disagree with the accuracy of such claims since handmade cold process soap is naturally alkaline (the pH is nearer 9 or 10), so the only way to make a slightly acidic soap (the skin's pH is around 5) would be to add lots of chemicals...so it wouldn't be a particularly natural skincare product! Nevertheless, the goats milk within our formulation really makes a difference, giving our soaps a superior lather with extra moisturizing benefits that really seem to suit eczema and sensitive skin types. So why not give it a try? We always try to have a few bargain soaps available, so that customers with itchy, sensitive skin can test it for themselves and hopefully switch from the chemicals in the body wash approach to a much more natural way of cleansing the skin. |
