Followers of natural cosmetics are rejecting chemical cleansers, which are unnecessarily harsh on facial skin and the environment. Solid soaps are a great alternative, especially if they combine care and deep cleansing.

One of the best natural soaps is goat milk; a Viking beauty secret, it is known for its extraordinary hydration power for dry and cold-assaulted skin. It is also very effective for skin with imperfections thanks to its richness in Vitamin A in its most active form: retinol. How to make it, and what are its properties and benefits? We tell you all about it in this article.

The most recommended production is that resulting from the ancestral method of cold saponification: by simply adding soda lye to the oils, thetrace is caused, which hardens when it becomes foamy. The last ingredients, which you will choose according to your target, (clays, milks, virgin oils, essential oils, …) are then added. The composition is then put into molds, it matures within 24 hours. The drying lasts about 4 weeks in order to allow all of the soda to perform its action. Ultimately, there is no longer any oil or soda, but only an excellent soap full of essential properties for the epidermis.

It contains vitamin A in its most active form, retinol. It is also rich in fatty acids and amino acids. Also rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potash, goat milk soap rebalances the skin’s pH and ensures hydration and softness by rebuilding the hydrolipidic barrier of the epidermis.
