I have a 3 yr-old and a 1 yr-old and they both have extra-sensitive skin. My wife and I have been using oatmeal lotions, lanolin, special soaps....but there is always a spot of eczema or a rash to be found.

I finally remembered hearing about how goat's milk has all these great properties or nutrients, or whatever and tried some goat milk soap. Wouldn't you know, it worked!! All their skin problems have healed. I've also been using it as a shave cream and noticed I don't get razor-burn like I used to.

The down-fall...it's a bit pricey compared to other soap, especially the mass-produced name brand soaps. I researched and found the cheapest bars for $5 (at about $0.83 per ounce, compared to $1.00 to $1.90 per ounce for a dozen other makers) .

Anyway, this stuff is great! If you have extra sensitive skin, or have kids who do, I strongly recommend it.

They have some without any fragrance, and about 20 with different scents. For the girls I ordered the fragrance-free (they call it "Purity") . For my wife and I, we got a couple each of some different smells to see what we like best. I've become partial to one with something called 'Sandalwood' in it.

Haha! Was that too much info, Thanh? Or are you shuttering at the thought that I'm swimming in a pool of goat milk?

Seriously though, the soap has really cured my daughters' dry skin.

not to put myself forward or anything but i have a business making homemade soap and i make pure castile soap that cures my daughters excema and even cured a skin condition for someone else. i sell it for 3/4 oz bar for the plain castile.

Okay, I know a tid bit about glycerine, but what's castile? Sounds soft.

Dave, do you mind my asking where you order it? I have terribly bad allergies and dry cracked skin (ecxema) in the winter, so that sounds like something well worth trying.

Jan, here's the website:

Tell her "Dave M. from Houston" sent you.
The family is a really neat farm-family. I did ALOT of comparing the Goat's Milk Soap makers and their is the least expensive per ounce and amount of actual milk per bar. We've really enjoyed their soaps....and the many scents.

Dave-
Decided to give the goat's milk soap a try for my son w/ eczema.
We noticed an improvement w/ his skin within the 1st week.

Thanks,

That's great news! It's the only soap we use now in my family.
