Health Benefits & Skin Nutrition
Understanding the therapeutic properties of goat milk for skincare applications
Vitamin Complex
Goat milk contains vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, and E. Vitamin A helps treat psoriasis and dermatitis while reducing fine lines. B vitamins support skin cell regeneration and overall skin health.
- Vitamin A: Reduces wrinkles and treats acne
- Vitamin E: Antioxidant protection
- B-Complex: Cell regeneration support
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids
Natural lactic acid in goat milk gently exfoliates dead skin cells by breaking down cellular bonds. This reveals fresh, younger-looking skin underneath without harsh chemical acids.
- Gentle natural exfoliation
- Improved skin texture
- Reduced inflammation
Moisturizing Properties
Rich fatty acids and proteins create a natural moisture barrier. Triglycerides strengthen the skin’s hydro-lipid barrier, while capric and caprylic acids provide antimicrobial benefits.
- Long-lasting hydration
- Natural emollient action
- Protective skin barrier
Step-by-Step Production Process
Professional liquid lotion manufacturing method for consistent, high-quality results
Prepare Base Ingredients
Heat goat milk gently to 60°C to pasteurize without destroying nutrients. Strain to remove any impurities. Allow to cool to room temperature before use.
Melt Oil Phase
Combine coconut oil, sweet almond oil, and beeswax in double boiler. Heat to 70°C until completely melted and well combined.
Create Emulsion
Slowly add cooled goat milk to oil mixture while blending with immersion blender. Maintain steady blending to prevent separation.
Add Preservatives
Once mixture cools to 40°C, add vitamin E oil and any natural preservatives. Blend thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Final Processing
Add essential oils if desired. Continue blending until texture is smooth and consistent. Test pH level (should be 5.5-7.0).
Package & Store
Transfer to sterile containers while mixture is still slightly warm. Seal immediately and label with production date. Store in cool, dry place.
