🧼Goat Milk Soap vs. Commercial Soap: What’s the Difference?🧼

Audra White

When choosing a soap for your daily skincare routine, you want something that cleanses effectively without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. But with so many options available, it’s important to understand the difference between handcrafted goat milk soap and mass-produced commercial soap.


At Lickskillet Soap Co., we believe in pure, nourishing ingredients that enhance your skin’s health and feel, and goat milk soap does just that! Let’s break down the key differences between goat milk soap and commercial soap, so you can make the best choice for your skin.


🧼 What is Goat Milk Soap?

Goat milk soap is handcrafted using natural ingredients like olive oil, coconut oil, and shea butter, blended with fresh goat milk. These ingredients work together to create a luxuriously creamy lather that moisturizes, softens, and conditions your skin.


Unlike commercial soaps, goat milk soap is free from harsh detergents, sulfates, and synthetic additives, making it a gentle and nourishing choice for all skin types.

🌿 Why Choose Goat Milk Soap?


1️⃣ Made with Skin-Loving Natural Oils

Goat milk soap is handcrafted with nutrient-rich oils like:

Olive oil – Adds a silky-smooth texture and helps lock in moisture.

Coconut oil – Creates a rich, bubbly lather.

Shea butter – Deeply nourishes and enhances the soap’s creamy feel.


These natural ingredients work together to hydrate and protect the skin, unlike commercial soaps that use synthetic detergents that can strip away moisture.


2️⃣ Packed with Skin-Nourishing Nutrients

Goat milk is a natural source of Vitamins A, E, and Selenium, all of which support healthy, hydrated skin. These nutrients help maintain skin’s moisture balance and leave it feeling soft and refreshed.


🚫 Commercial soaps lack these essential nutrients because they often remove natural fats and replace them with synthetic fillers.


3️⃣ Gentle Enough for All Skin Types

Goat milk soap is known for being soothing and non-irritating, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin. Unlike mass-produced soaps, which often contain synthetic foaming agents, perfumes, and harsh chemicals, goat milk soap cleanses without disrupting the skin’s natural balance.


4️⃣ Free from Harsh Chemicals & Sulfates

Many commercial soaps contain sulfates, parabens, and artificial fragrances, which can strip the skin of natural moisture, leading to dryness, irritation, or discomfort.


Goat milk soap is free from sulfates & parabens, meaning it gently cleanses while

keeping your skin’s moisture barrier intact.


5️⃣ Naturally Moisturizing with Glycerin & Lactic Acid

Unlike commercial soaps, handmade goat milk soap retains natural glycerin, which:

✔ Helps skin stay hydrated & nourished

✔ Draws moisture into the skin for lasting hydration

✔ Prevents skin from feeling tight or dry after washing


Additionally, lactic acid (a gentle exfoliant found naturally in goat milk) helps slough off dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling renewed and refreshed.


🚫 Commercial soaps remove glycerin and replace it with synthetic moisturizers like petroleum and mineral oil, which don’t nourish the skin the same way.
