Goat Milk Lotion, post 2
This week we will finish the water phase of our goat milk lotion, and then move onto the oil phase. Our next ingredient is my very favorite in the lotion! Can you guess what that is? Perfect, you’re right; KINDER GOAT MILK! Pure, pasteurized, unadulterated white perfection! This is really the queen ingredient in our lotion formula. Without our special milk it would be just like many other lotions on the market.
It begins in the cool of the morning when the maidens of the farm head out to the white barn. Here is Mary Beth {affectionately called Joyful} milking our Kinder goat, Faline. She truly looks like Bambi’s sweetheart, only here at the farm she is our sweetheart!
Our milk is hand milked and then brought into the farm house. The milk that is used in the lotions and body butter is then pasteurized and iced quickly down to 40 degrees. Then it is batched into lotion in small handmade portions. All in the same day, the milk from our Kinder goats is in your lotion by the afternoon! How fresh is that?
The benefits to the skin are many, and quickly absorbed. Some of those benefits you may not be aware of. For example goat milk is very high in vitamin A, vitamin B, such as riboflavin and niacin. These all help to nourish the skin.
Goat milk has many minerals, acids and enzymes that feed and revive dehydrated skin.
Goat milk has many nutrients that include proteins, hormones {naturally found in the milk, not synthetically added} and good fats! Our Kinder milk has high butterfat with natural cream and small fat globules that allow fast absorption into the skin.
Goat milk has alpha-hydroxy acids found naturally in the milk. Unlike the way this popular ingredient is added into commercial products. It greatly aids in neutralizing free radicals, sloughs off dead cells allowing new cell growth and reconstruction of collagen fibers. Wow!
Goat milk has a pH close to human skin, therefore allowing the skin to benefit from all the blessings of the milk naturally. Our God is an AWESOME God!!! 7.0 is the power of hydrogen {pH} of goat milk! Mmmm, I love perfection!
Please check out our Kinder Goat Milk post to read about added benefits.
Now onto glycerin our last ingredient in the water phase. Glycerin attracts moisture into the skin and fills the microscopic voids in the surface of dry skin, thus protecting the skin from heat, cold, wind and pollution. This enables the dry skin to heal and restore health and moisture. For these reasons I have chosen glycerin to be number 4 in my line up of essential ingredients in our Goat Milk Lotion.
Next week join me in Goat Milk Lotion post #3 where we will enter the oil phase, oooh!

…You say~ “Say It!” ….I’m gonna say it!! I L O V E this stuff!!! I just can’t get over it! The first time I tried it~ I was happily sampling many of your other products too! {I walked upstairs & told everybody “don’t come looking for me, I’m taking a BREAK!”} I usually do the whole shower thing in 30-45 min. Well, 2-1/2 hrs. LATER~ I danced down my stairs~ feeling FULLY energized, pampered & revived!!! I told my 23 & 29 yr. old daughters~ “smell me! I smell like I’ve just been to the BEST spa don’t I!? They replied,”Yeah Mom, ya do, but did you use that lotion on your face? Your skin looks amazing!!!" The following Sunday~ my daughter-in-law says,“what are you doing to your face? Your skin looks beautiful!!!” ……OK girlfriends~ I’m just sayin’~ it takes something pretty special~ for ‘young women’~~to compliment an ‘old woman’~ on how beautiful her skin looks!!! I’M HAPPILY HOOKED! My skin is soooo soft~ I’ve thrown all my old stuff out! Try it! You’ll like it!!! EVEN on your face!!! :D
