    "This is one of the most impressive GMS products I've tried. It quickly cleared up dry skin on hands, face, and body that we have been dealing with for a long time. It makes the face so soft and smooth, and even doubled as a primer for foundation! The solid form is more convenient than regular lotion because it can be applied to specific areas if needed without making hands greasy. The tea tree scent is very strong and medicinal, but it does fade to become more pleasant after application. I will definitely be buying this again!"

Dry skin, also known as xerosis or xeroderma, can leave your skin feeling itchy, rough, flaky, or even scaly.

Which Goat Milk Soap is Good for Dry Skin?

Each goat milk soap in our Dry Skin product line has raw goat milk to help moisturize and offer relief. However, we offer several variations, each of which has its own blend of unique ingredients.

  • Purity Goat Milk Soap is an unscented soap with simple ingredients and is our first recommendation for relief from dry skin.
  • Purity Oats Goat Milk Soap is our Purity Goat Milk Soap with rolled oats added for extra exfoliation.
  • Castile Goat Milk Soap is the gentlest soap we make and contains only organic extra virgin olive oil and raw goat milk. The creamy, lotion-like lather and minimal ingredients make it the goat milk soap we recommend for infants and hyper-sensitive skin.
  • Calendula Goat Milk Soap is our Castile soap with calendula-infused olive oil and castor oil added to increase lather. Castor oil is known for helping with inflammation and fighting off fungi, characteristics that calendula also possesses. Calendula is also antibacterial in nature.
  • Activated Bamboo Charcoal Goat Milk Soap is our Purity Goat Milk Soap with added activated bamboo charcoal. This natural ingredient is gentle on the skin and antibacterial, too.

The GMS Dry Skin Protocol

Keep your routine simple and consistent, and introduce products one at a time so you can better understand what leaves your skin feeling soft and comfortable.

  1. Simplify Your Routine. Reduce the number of products you use and choose options made with simple, recognizable ingredients.
  2. Start With One Soap. Use Purity Goat Milk Soap as your primary cleanser for about one week before adding anything new.
  3. Add Moisture as Needed. If your skin needs extra moisture, gradually introduce Unscented Solid Goat Milk Lotion.
  4. Wash Items That Touch Your Skin. Regularly wash towels, sheets, pillowcases, and clothing with Goat Milk Laundry Soap.
  5. Simplify Hair Care. Shampoo and other hair products can come into contact with your scalp, face, neck, and back. Consider an Unscented Goat Milk Soap Shampoo Bar for a simpler routine.
  6. Try Other Goat Milk Soaps if Needed. After using Purity, try Calendula or Turmeric if your skin still feels dry or uncomfortable.

Keep it simple, make changes gradually, and stay consistent.

Why Our Family Makes Goat Milk Soap

Goat Milk Stuff is a family-run business that began on our farm with a simple goal: make high-quality soap using fresh goat milk from our own herd.

Because we raise the goats ourselves, every batch of soap begins with fresh milk produced right here on our farm. That milk is combined with nourishing oils using traditional soapmaking methods to create the creamy lather our customers love.

Since 2008, thousands of families have chosen our goat milk soaps as part of their daily skincare routine. Many customers with dry or sensitive skin prefer our fragrance-free soaps because they are made with simple ingredients and no added dyes.

If you are looking for a gentle cleansing option, you can explore our goat milk soap collection or start with our most popular fragrance-free goat milk soap.

While goat milk has not been scientifically proven to help dry skin, many people who have used our Goat Milk Stuff products have found it to provide relief for their dry skin as well as other issues like eczema and psoriasis.

How Long Does Dry Skin Take To Heal?

Dry skin can improve in one to two weeks with proper care.

The length of time it takes for your skin to heal will depend on how severe your dry skin already is and how well you begin to take care of it. If you begin to use soaps and moisturizers that hydrate your skin, the itchiness or flakiness should start improving within a week or two.

Why choose goat milk products over regular skincare for dry skin?

Goat milk’s natural fats, vitamins, and lactic acid hydrate and exfoliate, outperforming chemical-laden skincare.

Vitamins A and E repair and protect, as seen in customer stories who ditched store-bought lotions for our hydrating lavender lotion. Choose our products for healthier, happier skin without harmful additives.
