Many of our customers ask us, “Why do you use sheep’s milk as opposed to other milks like goat's milk?”. Sheep’s milk is one of the most nutrient-rich milk available on the market today! By comparison, sheep’s milk typically contains a 7% fat content and 6% protein and is rich in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Due to this rich ingredient sheep’s milk, when used in a skin care product has the ability to moisturize your skin, brighten its appearance, reduce redness and inflammation, as well as protect and repair your skin.
Moisturizing Formula
Our sheep’s milk soap moisturizes your skin due to the high amount of healthy fats contained in the milk; which can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on a person's face! We combine our sheep milk with olive oil in our soaps as olive oil is a known “emollient” that helps to trap moisture in your skin, retaining the vitamin-rich moisture of the sheep’s milk. To help reinforce this rich moisture content of sheep’s milk, we also add coconut oil as an additional ingredient that helps to not only hydrate your skin but provides another defensive barrier to help retain moisture on your skin! Long story short, your skin will not feel dry after using our product!!
Brightening Formula
Sheep’s milk is rich in lactic and alpha-hydroxy acids, which are known to be natural skin exfoliants. We combine this with all-natural oat bran in our soaps to help provide an enhanced and gentle exfoliation experience to remove old and dead skin cells. Our product does not contain plastic beads or ingredients that will negatively impact your health or plumbing!
Reducing Redness and Inflammation
The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of sheep’s milk help reduce redness and breakouts on an individual's skin. Personally, we have found that our product is amazing at treating redness and helping to prevent peeling from sunburn. Combined with the enhanced moisturizing effect of sheep’s milk and the moisture retention of olive oil and our coconut oil, our soaps are the perfect summer must-have if you enjoy spending time in the sun!
Protecting and Repairing Your Skin
With the high concentration of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and Vitamin E found in sheep’s milk, we enhance our soap formula with the Vitamin E found in olive oil and our secret weapon, Mango Butter! We use mango butter with our sheep milk soaps as it is rich in OMEGA-9, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, OMEGA-6, Vitamin-F, Arachidic Acid, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin-E again! We add Vitamin E, rich ingredients into our soaps as Vitamin E is known to help boost circulation, prevent moisture loss from your skin, and aid in repairing scarred and blemished skin.
