You've seen it everywhere, from Martha Stewart to Farmers Markets. One bar can cost anywhere from a few dollars, up to $30. But what exactly is the hype about it? Goat's milk has the same Ph level as human skin and contains proteins and other hormones that naturally benefit your skin. It was originally used by people with difficult skin conditions, but was quickly embraced by everyone because of its benefits. The fats and proteins from the milk soothe eczema, acne and sensitive skin. It also contains lactic acid that helps exfoliate dead skin.

Goat farmers have started making goat's milk soap in addition to the other products they sell. You can find the ingredients to make your own at Whole Foods, or just search online for a maker at Etsy. MyMommyMadeThat is made by a local in Henderson. Priced at about $3, these soaps contain simple ingredients, olive oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, and of course, goat's milk. Local pickup is available.
