Goat milk
What goat milk is, how it is traditionally used, what published studies show and where they fall short, how to use it safely, and which GraceYes products contain it.
Names
Bakri ka doodh (Hindi); Aja dugdha (Sanskrit).
Traditional view
Classical Indian texts discuss goat milk as a food. There is no verified classical source for using it on skin.
What it does in soap
Milk fat makes a richer, creamier bar. It also adds lactose, lactic acid and proteins.
What studies show
Reviews describe the proteins as moisturising and antimicrobial in the lab (PubMed). There are no human trials of goat milk soap. Goat milk soap is still an alkaline true soap.
Safety
One family with eczema developed a goat-milk food allergy after using goat milk soap (PubMed).
GraceYes products that contain it
Goat Milk Soap, Moisture Care Soap, Natural Gangajal Baby Soap, Kumkumadi Face Oil, After Shave Balm.
