The wonderful benefits of goat milk
There are so many wonderful benefits of using natural soap made with fresh goat milk, we could go on and on and on....
....so we'll try to get right to the facts and let you make your decision to make the switch.
- Packed with vitamins and minerals: Goat milk is loaded with vitamins, C, some B, E and a whole lotta Vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential in repairing damaged skin and also maintaining healthy skin. It also can help control acne and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. {for us maturing women, this should seal the deal!} One mineral that is found in goats' milk is selenium. Selenium is believed by scientists to have an important role in preventing skin cancer. It can also help prevent damage to the skin from excessive time in the sun.
- Alpha Hydroxy Acids: No need to break out the chemistry books...let us make it easy! Alpha hydroxy acids help remove dead skin cells by breaking down the binding agent that holds them together. It sloughs them off gently and effectively bringing your healthy, smoother...and younger-looking... cells to the surface. {ahem, again for us maturing women!}
- Gentle and moisturizing cleanser: Goat milk contains high levels of cream (fat), so when it's combined with the fat molecules of our plant based oils the result is a super "fatted" soap that nourishes your skin. Fat molecules have an anti-inflammatory effect on skin. We use the fresh raw milk from our happy herd(s) of Nigerian Dwarf goats, who are known for their high butterfat milk. 4-9% higher than standard dairy goats.
Our goat milk soap benefits people with sensitive skin because it doesn’t contain additives like alcohol, petroleum and preservatives. This reduces the risk of skin irritation and allergic reactions. It gently removes impurities for softer, smoother and more hydrated skin. People who prefer goat milk soap claim that it is far less drying and harsh than ordinary soap. For those who have sensitive skin, psoriasis or eczema, goat milk soap is a godsend.

We hope you enjoyed this little Goat Milk Soap 101 post. We love to be able to educate folks on the importance of using natural products. We all know that eating healthy is important and this also applies to skin care products. Did you know that it only takes 26 seconds for chemicals in any skin care product (make-up, deodorants, soaps & shampoos) to enter your bloodstream? How about up to 80% of the chemicals in most health and beauty products have never been tested for safety? Have you ever looked at the ingredient label on any of your products and can you even pronounce half of them? It's scary, folks!
We would like to assure you that with Sparrow Soaps, our base recipe for our all natural soap contains only five ingredients and you can actually eat them all! Olive oil, soybean oil, coconut oil and palm oil (from sustainable sources)....and goat milk. Of course we are not suggesting that you eat our soap, even though many of them smell delicious!
