Every day, more people are looking for an alternative to all the harmful chemicals that companies "load" into skin care products. Consumers are becoming aware of the potentially toxic and cancer-causing synthetic ingredients they are putting on their skin and switching to more natural products. There are many benefits to using goat's milk in soaps and lotions. Goat's milk is loaded full of vitamin
s A, B1, B3, B6, B12, C, D, E and K. Goat's milk is high in vitamin A which has been known to reduce fine lines and repair damaged skin. Most chemically prepared lotions aren't fortified with vitamin A. Lactic acid (found in goat's milk) is an alpha-hydroxy acid which breaks down dead skin cells, leaving younger ones at the surface. Rich cream provides relief for dry skin with its excellent mosturizing properties. Grapeseed oil is very light and absorbs quickly into the skin. Many commercial skincare products don't moisurize very well because their synthetic ingredients don't pe*****te the skin effectively. It has anti-inflammatory properties and promotes the well-being of skin from linoleic acid. Grapeseed oil helps reduce wrinkles and the appearance of aging by improving elasticity. It also acts as an astringent and tightens skin and closes pores. This incredible oil is extra-mosturizing and is wonderful for sensitive skin. Apricot kernel oil is good for people with sensitive skin because it is non-irritating and soothing for the skin. Apricot oil absorbs deeply and quickly into the skin making it very smooth and soft. Since it is light, it does not feel too oily. Once it is absorbed into skin, it provides long lasting moisturization. Coconut oil seems to be very popular these days and with good reason! Many studies have been done that show coconut oil is extremely beneficial to the body in many ways. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that is found plentiful in coconut oil. Antioxidants help protect the body by stopping the damage done to healthy tissues. Coconut oil is a fantastic mosturizer and helps slow the aging process. At Whispering Wethers Farm, we only use organic virgin coconut oil in our lip balm. Olive oil is another natural product that is great for the skin. Extra virgin olive oil is composed of more than 80 percent oleic acid. This substance can easily be absorbed through the skin which allows the oil to heal damage, reduce wrinkles and improve texture. The skin is your body's largest organ so treat it with some respect!
