  • Oatmeal - It is a natural choice for those with ezcema, psoraisis and roscea. Oatmeal naturally fights redness and skin irriation. It also soothes itchy rashes, such as those that occur with contact dermatitis, eczema and poison ivy. The soothing colloidal action of oatmeal binds moisturizing emollients to your skin so that it is softer and more elastic. Natural oatmeal exfoliates dry dead skin cells helping renew healthy skin.

It has a great variety of benefits, such as a preventing and fighting off atherosclerosis and keratinisation. Vitamin E naturally inhibits skin disorders while keeping the skin moist. It effectively fights of melanin deposits, providing anti-inflammatory protection. Vitamin E is also called one of nature's best anti-oxidants, which means it defends your cells against damage on a daily basis and protects the skin's delicate fatty acids from oxidation and destruction.

Goat Milk and the benefits:

  • Alpha Hydroxy Acids - Goat milk contains alpha-hydroxy acids such as lactic acid which help remove dead skin cells from your skin's surface. This leaves new cells on the surface of your skin that are smoother and younger looking. The alpha-hydroxy acids are so effective because they break down the bonds that hold the dead skin cells together. Removing dead skin cells will help many skin conditions by removing irritation. Water-based soaps may use harsh chemical acids to accomplish this, frequently with skin-damaging results.
  • Vitamins - Goat milk contains many vitamins, but is particularly high in Vitamin A, which is necessary to repair damaged skin tissue, and maintain healthy skin. There have been several medical studies showing that creams made with Vitamin A reduce lines and wrinkles, control acne, and provide some psoriasis relief. Water-based soaps can be artificially fortified with vitamins, but most aren't.
  • Cream - Fat molecules are an important part of making good soap. The cream that is present in goat milk helps boost the moisturizing quality of goat milk soaps. Since many people suffer from dry skin, particularly in the winter months, this is an important quality for soap. Goat milk soap will not dry your skin out like many other soaps. This is important because keeping skin naturally moisturized helps keep skin healthy.
  • Minerals - Goat milk contains important minerals for the skin such as selenium. Selenium is believed by scientists to have an important role in preventing skin cancer. Selenium can also help prevent damage to the skin from excessive time in the sun.
