May improve dry skin

Low water levels in the skin are the root cause of dry skin, sometimes referred to as xerosis. Normal moisture loss is slowed down by your skin's lipid barrier. Low lipid levels can therefore result in excessive moisture loss, and dry, itchy, and tight skin. Lower amounts of lipids, such as cholesterol, ceramides, and fatty acids, are frequently seen in the skin of people who suffer from certain dry skin disorders, such as psoriasis and eczema.

The lipid barrier has to be repaired and moisturized in order to treat dry skin. The high cholesterol and fatty acid content of goat milk soap may restore lost fats while supplying moisture for improved water retention. Furthermore, using strong soaps can deplete the skin of its natural moisture, aggravating dry skin. The skin's hydration can be supported and replenished by using a mild, fatty soap like goat milk soap.
