Luxury skincare shouldn't require a luxury budget. We create products with the finest organic ingredients and make them accessible. Because everyone deserves to feel good in their skin.
Goat Milk
Goat milk naturally contains lactic acid concentrations typically ranging from 0.5% to 1%—levels sufficient to provide gentle exfoliation while remaining well within the range considered safe.
Goat Milk
Goat milk maintains a pH of approximately 6.1 to 6.4—remarkably close to human skin's natural acidity. The skin's acid mantle—that invisible protective barrier that defends against pathogens and environmental damage—maintains a pH between 4.5 and 5.5. This slightly acidic environment is essential for everything from bacterial defense to moisture retention to enzyme function.
Goat Milk
What makes goat milk exceptional is not merely the presence of the fatty acids, but their molecular structure. Goat milk contains smaller fat globules than cow milk—approximately 3.5 micrometers compared to cow milk's 4.5 micrometers. This size differential translates to superior bioavailability; smaller molecules penetrate more efficiently and deliver nutrients more effectively to compromised skin barriers.

Priorities in Formulation
A Deeper Dive on our Strategic Choices
Before synthetic peptides, before bioengineered growth factors, before the multi-billion dollar anti-aging industry as we know it existed, nature had already solved the problem of cellular regeneration. Colostrum—the first milk produced by mammals in the 72 hours following birth—contains the precise combination of growth factors, immunoglobulins, and bioactive compounds necessary to transform delicate newborn tissue into resilient, functioning systems.
Arnica montana has been used for centuries in European folk medicine for treating bruising, inflammation, and muscle pain. Modern research has moved beyond tradition to examine its mechanisms and efficacy.
Powdered milk production involves spray-drying or drum-drying processes that expose milk to temperatures typically ranging from 150°F to over 400°F, depending on the method. This heat treatment accomplishes two industrial objectives: it removes water (creating a shelf-stable, lightweight product) and it kills microorganisms (extending storage life).
But not all goat milk skincare is created equal. The difference between fresh goat milk and powdered reconstituted milk—the kind many commercial brands quietly use—represents a distinction that matters at the molecular level. Understanding the science behind goat milk helps explain why, and why discerning consumers are learning to read labels more carefully.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) has emerged as an effective vehicle for delivering bioavailable sulfur both orally and topically. What began as a supplement for joint health has expanded into skincare, where peer-reviewed research is documenting effects on inflammation, collagen synthesis, and visible signs of aging.
What the Queen of Egypt understood intuitively, modern dermatology has since confirmed through decades of research. Lactic acid stands among the most thoroughly studied skincare actives, with documented benefits for exfoliation, hydration, barrier function, and anti-aging. But here's what makes it particularly interesting for those seeking gentle, effective skincare: lactic acid occurs naturally in goat milk at concentrations that deliver benefits without the irritation associated with high-strength synthetic formulations.
