"Goat milk" on an ingredient list doesn't tell you about casein composition. "Hypoallergenic" doesn't guarantee anything about allergenic proteins. "Gentle formula" is marketing, not science. Understanding why certain milks provoke reactions while others don't gives you the knowledge to make choices based on substance rather than claims.

People with eczema often report that goat milk products are among the few skincare options they can tolerate without flare-ups. While goat milk's gentle protein profile (low αs1-casein) contributes to this tolerability, CLA likely plays a role as well—its anti-inflammatory properties help prevent the reactive response that eczema-prone skin exhibits toward many products.

Winter doesn't have to mean months of uncomfortable, damaged skin. With the right approach—one that repairs and supports rather than just coats and protects—your skin can stay healthy and comfortable even in the harshest conditions.

Your skin isn't defective. It's been subjected to products that damage instead of support. The sensitivity you experience is often a reasonable response to unreasonable ingredients.

Sensitive skin doesn't need to avoid exfoliation. It needs exfoliation delivered appropriately—through ingredients that support rather than assault the compromised barrier. Lactic acid, particularly from natural sources, fits that requirement in ways that most alternatives cannot match.

MSM itself may be gentle, but an MSM product loaded with fragrance, irritating preservatives, or harsh alcohols will still cause problems. The sensitizer doesn't have to be MSM—it can be anything else in the formula.
