The Moisturizing Magic of Goat Milk Soap

Blog | 0 comments

When it comes to keeping your skin hydrated and healthy, not all soaps are created equal. At Friendly Goods, we believe in the power of goat milk soap to provide superior moisturizing qualities compared to other natural soaps.

Goat Milk Soap is Rich in Fatty Acids

Goat milk soap is packed with essential fatty acids and triglycerides that are vital for maintaining skin moisture. Fatty acids help to maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier, preventing water loss and keeping the skin hydrated. They are particularly beneficial for dry and sensitive skin types. The creamy texture of goat milk helps to create a luxurious, rich lather that deeply nourishes the skin!

It Has Natural Humectants

Goat milk contains natural humectants like glycerin that draw moisture from the environment into the skin. This helps to keep your skin hydrated and soft throughout the day, unlike some natural soaps that might not have the same humectant properties.

Goat Milk has a gentle pH Balance

The pH of goat milk is similar to that of human skin, which helps maintain the skin’s natural barrier. This balance prevents the skin from becoming too dry or irritated, a common issue with other soaps that may be more alkaline like plant-based soaps.

Keep Your Skin Moisturized, Naturally

When it comes to choosing a soap that keeps your skin moisturized, goat milk soap from Friendly Goods is the clear winner. Its unique combination of fatty acids, natural humectants, and gentle pH balance makes it the best choice for hydrated, healthy skin. Visit our shop to explore our range of goat milk soaps and experience the moisturizing magic for yourself!

What is Soap?

Real soap is made through a process called saponification, where natural fats or oils are
combined with an alkali (like lye) to create a gentle, effective cleanser. The FDA has strict rules
about what can and can’t be labeled as soap, and to qualify, a product must:
1. Be made primarily of alkali salts of fatty acids—which is just a fancy way of saying oils or
fats mixed with lye.
2. Get all of its cleansing power from these alkali salts—meaning no synthetic detergents.
3. Be marketed strictly as soap—if it claims to moisturize, deodorize, or kill germs, it’s
considered a cosmetic or even a drug.
In short, true soap is simple, straightforward, and made the way it has been for centuries. But if
your “soap” contains synthetic detergents, it’s something else entirely.
