The benefits of goat's milk soap

The organic goat's milk has been renowned for centuries for its countless beauty benefits.

Transformed into soap by cold saponificationso that the goat's milk retains its properties, it becomes a surgras soap. Quite nourishing, it can be used to gently cleanse, soothe and care for all types of skin, even the most sensitive.

An ally against acne

Goat's milk is an ally for acne-prone and problem skin. The lactic acid contained in this milk is renowned for its comedolytic effect, i.e. it eliminates comedones (blackheadsand whiteheads) and opens clogged pores. This soap therefore naturally and gently exfoliates the skin, helping to eliminate impurities and dead cells, and thanks to this exfoliation, it helps to stimulate cell regeneration.

Coenzyme Q10, a substance we no longer need to introduce that's similar to a fat-soluble vitamin, helps fight skin slackening.

Vitamin C, meanwhile, helps keep skin firm and elastic as it stimulates collagen synthesis, which tends to diminish with age. It also has powerful antioxidant properties, in synergy with vitamin E.
