Our skin has a protective layer of
acidic oils that act as a barrier and filter, protecting the inside of the body
from the external environment. This layer is called the acid
mantle. The skins PH is between 4 to 5.5, making it acidic. It is
this acid layer that protects the skin from bacteria, killing the bacteria
so that it cannot damage the skin.
Most commercial soaps are a strong
alkaline that strip the acid mantle from the skin, making it easy for bacteria
to attack. Goats milk however has a PH that is very similar to that of
the skins natural PH making goat’s milk soaps a very popular soap that
neutralize the effects of bacteria that cause skin infections. The very
best way you can maintain your acid mantle is to use skin care products such as
goat milk soap
that are PH balanced.
