What Makes Garland Goat Soap of Maine so Great?
 ● The
raw goat milk
included in our soaps is rejuvenating,
anti-inflammatory,
and
moisturizing.
It
contains over fifty nutrients including the vitamins A, B1, B2
(riboflavin),
B6, B12, C, D, E, and K, niacin, zinc, and calcium, as well as some
minerals,
amino acids, citric acid,
unsaturated fatty acid, proteins,
various
enzymes
and
many other nutrients. All of these contribute to making our goat milk
soap so
special
for the skin!● Vitamin A slows down the effects of aging and prevents brown spots. Zinc contributes to the reconstruction of collagen fibers, resulting in firmer, smoother skin. Zinc also encourages moisture retention and assists in maintaining your skin’s elasticity. Calcium tones and smoothes the skin. Since goat milk is naturally homogenized (the milk and cream do not separate), the natural fat provides your skin with a rich, moisturizing effect. The oils in goat milk are easily absorbed by the skin, resulting in a healthy balance of oils for dry or oily skin. ● Goat milk also contains alpha-hydroxy acids. These acids, which occur naturally in the milk, are known to plump the skin and smooth fine lines. Alpha-hydroxy acids also exfoliate by breaking down the glue holding those dead skins cells together. Additionally, these acids neutralize free radicals, slowing the aging process and refreshing the skin. ● Caprylic acid is a fatty acid contained in goat milk that reduces alkalinity, giving goat milk soap a pH level very close to that of the skin. This prevents the soap from stripping away the natural oils of the skin. The natural oils of the skin form a protective barrier that keep microbials out. Our goat milk soap cleanses while leaving that protective barrier intact and soothes the surface tension of the skin, allowing it to be moisturized and absorb the healthy nutrients. The other fatty acids present in goat milk are also natural antimicrobials and antifungals.  ● Garland Goat Soaps also contain
carefully selected oils
that compliment
and enhance the qualities of goat milk. Olive oil
moisturizes and forms
a
protective film on the skin without inhibiting the skin’s normal,
necessary
functions, and is a good cleanser. Vitamin
E oil is an antioxidant, an
emollient, and a natural preservative. Coconut oil is a
moisturizer,
and also
makes a hard bar of soap with a generous lather (unlike many other
soft, sticky
handmade soaps), and it resists rancidity. Palm oil is a gentle
cleanser and
moisturizer. ● Lastly, there is sodium hydroxide (lye). Sodium hydroxide is a cleanser with a long, long history. It undergoes a chemical change during the soap making process (saponification) and becomes a thorough, gentle cleanser. It is great for getting rid of chiggers and is said to soothe bug bites. Why is Our Hand-crafted Soap Superior to Commercially Manufactured Soap?● Natural glycerin is produced during the process of soapmaking. This glycerin is highly valued for its moisturizing properties and its ability to help
your
skin retain
moisture. Commercial soap producers remove the
glycerin from their soap
in order to use it in more expensive products, like moisturizers. So,
of course
you need a moisturizer after using most commercial soaps! Our
hand-crafted soap
abounds
with this natural
glycerin to moisturize and soothe the skin!
Our
hand-crafted soap is completely natural, right down to the essential
oils with
which it is scented. Essential oils are
powerful
aromatic substances extracted from flowers and herbs that contribute
their own
beneficial properties to each bar of soap, delivering more health and
vitality
to your skin! Commercial soap often contains chemical additives and
synthetic
ingredients including synthetic fragrances and dyes which can be
irritating and
drying to skin. ● Our hand-crafted goat milk soap, Garland Goat Soap, is produced in small batches in which the quality of the soap and the ingredients can be closely monitored. The same care and caution is not likely to be exercised when soap is mass produced. The skin-nutritious oils in our soaps are each carefully selected and combined based on how they compliment the properties of the goat milk and achieve a rich, moisturizing, hard bar of soap, with great lather. Commercial soaps rarely contain these oils because they are expensive. The skin has a barrier of natural oils that protect against microorganisms and mild chemicals. Most commercial soaps strip away the barrier of natural oils, leaving the skin vulnerable. Our goat milk soap does not remove those oils.  ● When
raw
goat milk is combined with a carefully selected blend of oils in a
handmade
soap, the result is a mild, skin-nutritious, luxurious bar that
thoroughly
cleanses, refreshes, smoothes, and moisturizes and is so gentle it can
be used
on infants.
