WHY NATURAL GOAT MILK SOAP IS BEST:
Eastpoint Farms Goat Milk Soap
In commercial soapmaking processes, the soap is the byproduct of glycerin production. Glycerin, which is the result of the chemical reaction that produces soap, is much more valuable than the soap itself. So commercial producers remove the glycerin by cooking the soap to force the glycerin formation to occur quickly, so they can harvest it from the soap vat and sell it for a multitude of commercial uses.
Commercial soaps with the glycerin removed have two main faults:
1)Soap devoid of glycerin can dry your skin, leaving it feeling tight and uncomfortable; and
2) Cooking the soap destroys the delicate vitamins and healing properties of the original ingredients.
Our specialized process, known as cold-process soapmaking, does not require cooking. Soapmaking at lower temperatures retains all the goodness of our specially selected ingredients, and our soap retains 100% of its natural glycerin.
Not only is our soap good for your skin, it lasts longer than those inferior commercial soaps!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Healthy Ingredients ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We use goat milk, which contains an average of 4% butterfat, 3% protein, vitamins A, B, and D, and medically significant medium-chain fatty acids. Research has indicated that the constituents of goat milk are capable of rebuilding collagen in your skin, making it a natural wrinkle reducer. Goat-milk baths are one of the oldest recorded beauty treatments.
Supplemental oils added for their special properties include:
Olive and rice bran oils, both fine skin softeners; Coconut and palm kernel oils, to create a great lather; Cocoa and Shea Butters, which are legendary emmolients; and Castor oil, pure lard and tallow for superior conditioning.
Fact: Pure lard and tallow are much kinder and less drying to the skin and rate much higher overall compared to soaps made with more expensive exotic oils!
