Coolest Find of the Month – June

So it’s winter time here in Perth and that means more and more hot showers leaving your skin dry and in much need of moisturization.

I discovered Goat soap and started to research the benefits of using this soap. I have found that it maintains moisture in my skin and I am not left with dry skin. Winter is one of the worst months to maintain moisture in the skin because more people tend to take more hot showers and this means your skin is prone to dryness.

Benefits of using products with Goat’s Milk

  • Goat’s milk soap has proteins that kill bacteria that produces acne. It would be a natural alternative to mainstream products that may contain many harsh chemicals
  • It contains many vitamins that help to nourish your skin and maintain it’s health. Vitamins include A, C, E, B1, B6 and B12.
  • Because goat’s milk does not contain harsh chemicals, it is beneficial for those of sensitive skins or those with skin conditions such as eczema. It reduces skin irritations or itchiness.
  • Goat’s milk reduces the signs of aging and reduces wrinkles based on the skin repairing components that the vitamins provide.
  • The creamy components from goat’s milk helps your skin from going dry and promotes moisture in your skin.
  • Goat’s milk has a pH level which is close to human’s pH level. This means that it allows nutrients to enter our skin, reduces drynesss whilst also preventing chemicals or bacteria entering the skin.
  • Due to it containing hydra-alphoxy acids, this helps promotes skin rejuvenation meaning that it also helps in removing dead skin cells.

Those were just some of the benefits I found online but there is so much Goat’s milk can offer in maintaining natural, soft looking skin and preventing your skin from aging faster. You can even drink Goat’s milk if you really wanted to :)

My bar of soap had Lemon Myrtle which is a plant that is abundant is South Queensland. It really does have a fresh lemon scent which I found comes from the leaves of the plant.

So I bought my bar of soap for $3.99 for Chemist Warehouse from a company called core-metrics. They don’t sell it off their website so I can only assume this is sold in chemists or pharmacies around Australia.

Here are some other sites I found that sell Goat’s Milk soap online:

Billy Goat Soap – $8.95

Goat Milk Stuff – As low as US $3.95 – liked this site very much because of the flavour range with so many choices!

Sassy Goat Milk Shop – as low as US$4.00

The Karma Soap Company – $6.00 – like the offer of a $5 voucher just for subscribing, so essentially you pay $1 for testing the soap

Goat’s Milk Soap Creations – $4.95

Moogoo – $6.90

As far as I could tell, most of these companies shipped internationally and I usually list items in Australian dollars unless otherwise specified. I have got to say there are so many companies out there offering handmade goat’s milk soap! I guess it’s finding what product suits you best and the customer service from that seller. I think it is reasonably priced and I think the benefits are remarkable for moisturizing your skin.

I wanted to share the label on my soap because I thought it was cute! Orangutang safe LOL!

  1. This is Not a cool product it contains Palm Oil, which is Not Orangutang safe, Thousands of acres of native bushland are cut down every day to expand palm oil plantation, Orangutangs loose there habitat for this. GET WITH THE REAL WORLD !!!!!!!!

    • Hi there

      I understand the environmental implications this product has so I researched about certified sustainable palm oil.

      Companies that agree with the social, environmental and economic practices for the production of palm oil from the roundtable of sustainable palm oil (RSPO), will produce their palm oil in plantations that are audited and agree to the global standards set by the RSPO. These companies are against the use of palm oil that harms the natural habitat and environment of native animals.

      I took it a step further and confirmed with core-metrics where they derived their palm oil from and this was the response received:

      Hi Liana,

      Thanks for your email.

      We appreciate your concern and completely understand your request for confirmation.

      Yes, we use 100% sustainable Palm Oil. Our Palm Oil comes from a plantation in Malaysia, where the palm trees a purposely grown and harvested for the use of extracting Palm Oil for products. Therefore there is absolutely no harm or cruelty to the orangutang’s or their environment.

      Hope this helps.

      Thanks,

      Customer Service
      Core Metrics Pty Ltd

      I would like to think that a company that prints on their labels sustainable palm oil and orangutang safe would actually comply with these global standards otherwise this would be misleading and false practices.

      I completely understand where you are coming from but wanted the confirmation all the same.
