Surprising Goat Milk Soap Benefits

Goat milk Soap is a soap that uses goat milk as its main ingredient. It is highly beneficial for the skin because of its unique natural composition. Goat milk contains vital nutrients like Vitamin A, C & D, magnesium, potassium, and also healthy fat which minimizes skin concerns and keeps it healthy.

Why do we use goat milk in our soaps?

Unprocessed goat milk has natural emollient properties that keep the skin healthy and nourished. Soap bars made from goat milk do not require preservatives to prevent the product from microbial growth. This is because goat milk when added to NaOH* turns milk fat into saponified fat, and the water content in the milk gets evaporated during the drying process which is usually 6-8 weeks or say about 2 months.

Alpha Hydroxy acids are naturally found in goat milks. They help to remove dead cells or dark skin layers, protect the skin from sun damage, reduce wrinkles, help in growth of new skin cells and also work as an anti-aging agent. 

They help to naturally peel off dead skin slowly and invisibly without causing any rash, itch  or dryness.

What is the shelf life of  goat milk soap?

A real soap once ready to use is perfect to use for good 12-15 months. Although the soap do not go bad after a year and a half, only the essential oils effectiveness reduces as these herb distilled oils are highly volatile in nature and evaporate over the time. The soap is good to use with just no concerns at all even after years of its make. 

Why Glycerin is added to soaps?

Commonly available chemical based soaps are made with a soap base or soap noodle or surfactants. They add and label glycerin as an externally added ingredient and as the main benefit. Glycerine acts as a moisturizing agent and keeps the skin soft and nourished.  

Soap base or soap noodles are readily available soaps in the form of noodles or brick. These are made by heating oils with NaoH at a high temperature to extract glycerin. A small percentage of extracted Glycerin is then added to have a cost-effective soap-making process. Cold process soaps are naturally very rich in glycerin. Glycerin is a by-product of soaping. Glycerin is found so abundant in natural soaps (like Snaana soaps).

SNAANA soaps have more than 33% of glycerine and it is not added externally.

What are chemical preservatives and why are they used in a product?  

Preservatives are used in any product that has water or gel or milk as one of the ingredients. They are used to prevent bacteria and mold formation and hence increasing the shelf-life of a product.

Currently it is not possible to make a 100% natural preservative-free liquid product like shampoo or lotions. For this very reason, we make only soap bars and shampoo bars.Soap bars made with goat milk do not need preservatives because goat milk when added to NaOH* turns milk fat into saponified fat, and the water content in the milk gets evaporated during the drying process which is usually 6-8 weeks or say about 2 months. 

How to identify natural products from chemical & preservative-filled products?  

Literally, there exists no operating definition for natural or organic products when it comes to labelling cosmetics.  

Drug & Cosmetic controller mandates that all cosmetic products should list down all ingredients used in that product. However, many products mention only ‘Key Ingredients’ on labels. 

We recommend you to read the label carefully- don’t be misled by highlighted natural ingredients. Make sure the list of ingredients do not have any chemical stabilizers or preservatives even in small quantities less than 1% that saves the product from damage. Preservatives are used to ensure product longevity. Lesser the shelf-life of a product, lesser is the concentration of preservatives based chemical ingredients.

Ask the seller for a complete list of ingredients to gauge the chemical composition of a product.    

100% natural products, like ours, are developed after years of academic and lab research. Each product has been carefully formulated to give desired benefits and maintain stability without using any preservatives. All Snaana products have the complete list of ingredients written on the label.

SNAANA products derive their color from their ingredients only.  

Why don’t we make tearless or tear-free soaps?

Tearless or tear-free soaps and shampoos are formulated with numbing or desensitizing agents. These soap bars are not real or natural soaps, but a by-product of chemical compounds that acts as surfactants.  

Why don’t we make liquid soaps?

Any soap in the form of liquid needs chemicals as a preservative to inhibit bacterial growth which otherwise can spoil the liquid in just a few days. This is not the case with bars. Snaana soap/shampoo bars have a long shelf life
