Natural Skincare for Pregnancy Skin

Congratulations on your pregnancy! During this exciting time, your body will go through many changes, and some of those changes occur on the skin.

Benefits of Goat Milk Soap for Pregnancy Skin

Pregnancy is often one of the most wonderful times of your life. However, it also comes with many hormone-related fluctuations and bodily changes. This can lead to various skin problems during pregnancy, such as itchy and dry skin, breakouts, and pigmentation.

This requires the right skincare routine and awareness that some products should be avoided during pregnancy. You want to use healthy and natural skincare that won’t cause irritation to your skin or harm your baby.

We have a range of natural skincare products made using healthy goat milk that are ideal for pregnant moms. Our goat milk soaps are nourishing for the skin and can help with managing various skin issues that come up during pregnancy, such as dry skin, itchy skin or acne.

No Harmful Ingredients

The products we make on the farm are completely free of parabens, phthalates, harmful or toxic chemicals, preservatives, and artificial colors. We carefully source all of our ingredients, and we only use safe concentrations of essential oils. We want to provide all of our customers with products we trust in and use ourselves. In fact, PJ used the goat milk soap and skincare products during her last two pregnancies and wishes she had started making them earlier!

We also have goat milk lotions, deodorants, and lip balms that you can try. If you have any concerns about using new products during your pregnancy, we always recommend checking with your obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) and/or midwife first.

Which Goat Milk Soap is Good for Pregnancy Skin?

We always recommend trying our unscented goat milk soaps and skincare products first. This will give your skin one less ingredient to handle. You will still be able to enjoy the quality moisturizing and gentleness of goat milk and know that you and your baby are safe.

If you have no skin issues or sensitivities after trying the unscented products, feel free to use any of our scented items that appeal to you!

If you are experiencing dry skin during your pregnancy, we suggest starting with an unscented goat milk soap.

  • Purity Goat Milk Soap is an unscented soap with simple ingredients and is our first recommendation for dry or sensitive skin. Made with natural oils and no harsh chemicals, this soap will keep your skin soft and will cause no skin irritation.
  • 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.
  • Unscented Goat Milk Solid Lotion is very moisturizing for your skin and safe for your baby with gentle and beneficial ingredients such as coconut oil and cocoa butter. And it’s so easy to apply! Just swipe it on and rub it in.
  • Unscented Goat Milk Lip Balm will give your lips that same moisturizing treatment you are giving your body with the goat milk soaps and lotions.
  • Goat Milk Laundry Soap will continue keeping your skin and your baby safe from harm. Your clothes will be clean and your skin will be safe from any irritation caused by harmful chemicals or preservatives.

If you are experiencing acne during your pregnancy, we recommend trying our Tea Tree Goat Milk Soap. This is our Purity Goat Milk Soap with tea tree essential oil added. Tea tree essential oil is known to have antibacterial and antiviral properties, making it ideal for helping to fight infections that are typical with acne-prone skin.

If you don't have any skin sensitivities, you can find a goat milk soap scent that appeals to you and enjoy it! We recommend our Lavender Goat Milk Soap for the relaxing and calming effects of lavender essential oil.

What is Safe to Use on My Hair While I'm Pregnant?

Some women experience changes in their hair texture or thickness while pregnant. We recommend switching out your regular liquid shampoo with our Unscented Goat Milk Shampoo Bar. Some haircare products contain potentially harmful ingredients such as formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing preservatives. Our goat milk shampoo bars will keep you, your baby, and your hair healthy and free from any harmful chemicals.

Your hair may take some time to adjust to using a natural shampoo. Here is what you can expect when switching to a natural shampoo.

If you don’t have any skin issues or sensitivities after using the Unscented Goat Milk Shampoo Bar, you may want to try our Rosemary Mint or Tea Tree goat milk shampoo bars as well!

Other Natural Products to Consider

You may want to go beyond your skincare routine to take care of your skin from top to toe. Here are some other products we recommend for pregnant women.

  • Natural Deodorant: A switch to natural skin and hair care isn't complete without switching to a natural deodorant. Our Goat Milk Natural Deodorant is free from aluminum which is widely believed to be harmful to you and your baby. We offer a variety of popular scents (as well as unscented). Our natural deodorant is not an antiperspirant, and you may need to do a detox before making the switch to a natural deodorant.
  • Tooth Powder: Our all-natural Tooth Powder contains zero harmful or controversial ingredients such as foaming agents, whitening agents, glycerin, or fluoride.
  • Dish Washing Goat Milk Soap: Prevent irritating your skin by using our gentle Dish Washing Soap when you wash your dishes. The Dish Washing Soap contains a blend of Orange, Lemongrass, and Tea Tree essential oils to blast grease, naturally fight microbes, smell fantastic, and, best of all - the goat milk keeps your hands soft and moisturized while you tackle the job. Please note that this is not for use in dishwashing machines.

Our family at Goat Milk Stuff is so excited for you for the upcoming addition to your family! But we understand all the changes to your skin you may experience during your pregnancy can be frustrating and can distract from the joyful expectation you wish to bask in during this time. We pray our goat milk soaps and skincare products can help soothe your skin and give you comfort that you are keeping you and your baby safe.

6 Steps to Use Goat Milk Soap for Pregnancy Skin

We recommend the following steps to start on your goat milk soap journey:

  1. Make sure your soap, lotion, shampoo, and deodorant are as natural and chemical-free as possible. The gentle body wash soaps and skincare products we make at Goat Milk Stuff are free of any harmful ingredients that are believed to be unhealthy for you and your baby.
  2. Try the unscented Purity Goat Milk Soap for a week to see if that offers any relief. We have the bar soap for the shower or Purity Goat Milk Bath for enjoying a relaxing bath.
  3. After a week of exclusively using the Purity Goat Milk Soap, try adding the Unscented Solid Lotion to see if it improves your skin. By not trying them both for the first time in the same week, you can see the impact each one has.
  4. Change your laundry habits and switch to our Laundry Soap with simple ingredients and no unnecessary chemicals. Clothes, sheets, and towels touch your skin on a regular basis. Chemicals in commercial laundry detergent remain on those items and can irritate your skin.
  5. If you are looking for a natural shampoo without harmful chemicals, consider trying our Unscented Goat Milk Soap Shampoo.
  6. After you've tried the Purity Goat Milk Soap, you can experiment to see if one of our other goat milk soaps for pregnancy skin (like the Castile, Calendula, or Tea Tree for acne) works any better. Try each one for at least one week to give it a fair test. There are smaller sizes available (see the size comparison chart), so you can save money while you are figuring out which goat milk soap is best for your skin type.

Pregnancy Frequently Asked Questions

What Skincare Can You Use During Pregnancy?

During your pregnancy, moisturizing is important to keep the skin hydrated. You should look for moisturizers and soaps that are mild and fragrant-free so as to prevent any skin irritations.

Our solid lotions and soaps are made using healthy goat milk, which contains natural lactic acids, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and proteins that naturally exfoliate and hydrate the skin. We also infuse fantastic natural ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, tea tree oil, aloe vera and more, depending on your soap of choice.

What Is The Best Skincare For Pregnancy?

We always recommend trying our unscented goat milk soaps and skincare products first. This will give your skin one less ingredient to handle. You will still be able to enjoy the quality moisturizing and gentleness of goat milk and know that you and your baby are safe. If you have no skin issues or sensitivities after trying the unscented products, feel free to use any of our scented items that appeal to you!

If you are experiencing dry skin during your pregnancy, we recommend trying our Purity or Castile goat milk soaps, as they’re mild and soothing on the skin. In addition, our unscented goat milk lotion and lip balm can help to further moisturize your skin. To keep your clothes clean and your skin safe from any irritation caused by harmful chemicals or preservatives, be sure to use our Natural Laundry Soap.

Another skin issue that pregnant women often experience is acne. For this, we recommend trying our tea tree goat milk soap and solid lotion, as this essential oil is extremely beneficial for acne, inflammation, and sometimes even stretch marks! In the concentrations found in soap and lotion, tea tree is widely regarded as safe to use during pregnancy, but check with your OB/GYN and/or midwife if you have concerns.

Is Goat Milk Soap Safe To Use During Pregnancy?

The products we make on the farm are completely free of parabens, phthalates, harmful or toxic chemicals, preservatives, and artificial coloring. We carefully source all of our ingredients and only use safe concentrations of essential or fragrance oils. We want to provide all of our customers with products we trust in and use ourselves.

There are so many ingredients used frequently in skincare products that are believed to be dangerous for both you and your baby. Ingredients such as Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, Formaldehyde, Retinol, Tetracycline, and more! Even the direct use of some essential oils is believed to be harmful. With Goat Milk Stuff, you can rest assured that the ingredients we use are safe, natural, and used in safe concentrations in all of our soaps and skincare products. We've successfully used them through our own pregnancies!

Pregnancy Skin Testimonials

"I wanted to let you, and any expectant Mom customers, know that this soap has been a lifesaver for my daughter. She is expecting her first child in March. At about 16 weeks pregnant, she developed a terrible, VERY itchy rash diagnosed by the dermatologist as "PUPPS" (Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy). I had ordered some of your purity soap, and gave her a bar to try. She was very skeptical, as the Dr had told her she would likely have the rash and itch until after she has the baby. Within 2 days, the itch had subsided, and the rash was gone!! She is now at 33 weeks pregnant, and the rash reappeared when she ran out of the soap... I gave her another bar, and BINGO!! The rash was gone again in 2 days!!! This has been a lifesaver for her, as she works as a nurse full-time, and the rash and itch was driving her CRAZY!!
PLEASE tell your customers to try this soap for PUPPS.. The Dr was stunned!!
Grandma says THANK YOU so much!!!"
- Marsha
