Benefits of Milk in Cold Processed Soap

Using milk in cold process soap can create a creamy, moisturizing, and soothing bar, due to its natural moisturizing properties and lactic acid content. Some of the benefits are:

Creamy Texture and Lather: Milk, especially goat milk, contributes to a rich, creamy lather and soap texture, making it a great choice for those with dry or sensitive skin. One of our customer’s favorites is our Goat Milk and Lavender Body Soap.
Natural Moisturizer: The fats in milk act as natural emollients, helping to lock in moisture and prevent dryness. 
Lactic Acid Benefits: Milk contains lactic acid, a natural alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing brighter, smoother skin. 
Soothing Properties: Milk can be soothing for sensitive skin, potentially helping with some problem skin conditions like eczema, acne, and dry skin. 
Vitamins and Nutrients: Milk is a source of vitamins (A, D, B6) and minerals (calcium, selenium) that can nourish and rejuvenate the skin. 
Gentle Cleansing: Milk soap is more gentle than synthetic detergents, potentially helpful for those with sensitive skin.
