Premium Care

The real truth about ..........GOATS MILK SOAP...

Switching to soap made with Goats Milk, can truly benefit your skin’s health. Goat milk soap is perfect for people with dry sensitive skin, or conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. If you have perfect skin...goats milk soap will help it stay that way.  Goats Milk soap contains many benefits...read more...

Benefits...

Cream:  The cream that is present in goat milk, helps boost the moisturizing quality of goat milk soaps because it contains glycerin for luxurious skin softening. . Since many people suffer from dry skin, particularly in the winter months. Goat milk soap will not dry your skin out like many other soaps. This is important because keeping skin naturally moisturized, helps keep skin healthy.

Minerals: Goat milk contains one very important mineral for your skin. What is this ingredient? (ans: Selenium). Selenium is believed (by scientists) to play an important role in preventing skin cancer. Selenium can also help prevent damage to the skin from excessive time in the sun. Although the water used in other soaps may contain minerals such as calcium, sodium, or iron (commonly found in tap water), these minerals don't really help your skin. In fact, they are drying agents. The true benefit of Goats milk soap is that it has no alcohol, petroleum or preservatives. This factor helps reduce skin irritation and itchiness for people with sensitive skin or eczema.

Vitamins: Goats milk has many vitamins and other essential elements to help nourish your skin. But is particularly high in Vitamin A, which is necessary to repair damaged skin tissue, and maintain healthy skin. Other vitamins include E, C, and some B vitamins, amino and citric acids, unsaturated fatty acids and zinc. Soaps and creams made with Vitamin A, reduce lines and wrinkles, control acne, and provide some psoriasis relief. Commercial water-based soaps are artificially fortified with vitamins, and can't provide the needed skin relief in real time.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids: Goats milk contains alpha-hydroxy acids (such as lactic acid) which helps to remove dead skin cells from your skin’s surface. This leaves new cells on the surface of your skin that are smoother and younger looking. The alpha-hydroxy acids are extremely effective, because they break down the bonds that hold the dead skin cells together. Removing dead skin cells will help many skin conditions by removing irritation. Water-based soaps use harsh chemical acids to accomplish this, frequently with skin-damaging results. Stop using chemicals on your skin...switch soaps today!!

Healing Qualities

AVOCADO & CUCUMBER SOAP BARS:
(the gentle cleansing of avocado paired with the healing qualities of cucumber)

Enjoy the decadence...your skin will thank you !!

Avocado offers relief for almost every skin type.  It gently cleans oily skin with no irritation, to keep pores clear and healthy. For dry, sensitive skin, it soothes quickly and penetrates to nourish and moisturize...and because it's a moisturizer and a cleanser, Avocado Face and Body Soap continues working after you bathe. The fresh citrus scent is a gentle reminder that it's helping to keep your skin soft, supple and healthy all day long. A natural astringent.

Avocado soap is valued as a treatment for dry-type eczema and rashes, by moisturizing the skin with the fatty oils in the avocado oil and nurturing the skin with Vitamins A, D and E.

Avocado butter is especially good for dry, dull skin which has wrinkles. It can be beneficial for sensitive, stressed and prone to acne skin, boils and pimples. When there is the tendency for acne and pimples, the bitter nature of Avocado soap and butter helps to purify the skin, and improve immunity and skin conditions.

Cucumber is rich in sulphur and therefore it is very good for skin care and it can actually lighten the dark signs of aging thanks to its decongesting properties. Dermatological experts also recommend using cucumber to ease sunburn. When used continuously, it can also help to improve wrinkles. The old tradition of putting cucumber slices on swollen eyes is known by everyone: cucumbers can reawaken the eyes, rejuvenating the skin around them and reduce dark bags. In cosmetics, cucumber flesh is used to make a refreshing and hydrating facial mask, the seeds are used for toning and firming masks and the juice is used for soothing wipes for sensitive skin. In conclusion, to reduce wrinkles and make the skin softer and brighter, is it possible to create a very efficient facial mask using crushed cucumber, some olive oil and some drops of lemon juice. This treatment has a cleaning action that cleanses and reduces expanded and/or closed pores and it is also appropriate for sensitive skin that cannot tolerate soap or hard water.  The outcome of this treatment is superior to any lotion and is definitely cheaper.

Pairing together avocado and cucumber is a win win situation for all.
Remember...avocado cleans...cucumber heals.
