Benefits of Goat’s Milk
Benefits of Goat Milk Products from Schoenfeldt Family Farm
At Schoenfeldt Family Farm, our goat milk products are crafted with care from a multi-generational herd raised on pasture and handled daily by our family. Whether you’re looking for gentle skincare, nourishing bath products, or wholesome food options, goat milk brings natural benefits that make it a great choice for many people.
Why goat milk is special
Naturally rich in nutrients: Goat milk contains vitamins A, D, B2 (riboflavin), and minerals like calcium and potassium. These nutrients support healthy skin and overall wellness.
Closer to human milk composition: The fat globules and protein structure in goat milk are more similar to human milk than cow’s milk, which can make it easier to digest for some people and less irritating for sensitive skin.
Gentle, moisturizing properties: The fatty acids and natural emollients in goat milk help hydrate and soothe skin, leaving it soft without stripping natural oils.
Mild, natural exfoliation: Goat milk contains lactic acid, a gentle alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps remove dead skin cells and encourages a brighter, smoother complexion.
Benefits for skin and body care
Soaps: Our goat milk soaps are creamy and moisturizing. They help maintain the skin’s natural barrier, reducing dryness and irritation. People with eczema or sensitive skin often find relief using goat milk soap because of its gentle cleansing and soothing qualities.
Body butters and sugar scrubs: The combination of goat milk’s nourishing fats and our carefully chosen botanical oils provides deep hydration and improved skin texture. Sugar scrubs with goat milk buff away rough patches while leaving skin supple.
Goat milk baths: A soak in a warm goat milk bath calms and moisturizes skin. The lactic acid offers mild exfoliation while milk fats replenish moisture — perfect after sun exposure or for dry winter skin.
Unscented and naturally mild options: For those sensitive to fragrances or chemicals, our unscented goat milk products deliver the benefits of milk without added irritants.
Why our farm matters…
Family care and transparency: Our products come from goats we know and care for. They are loved and cared for daily. Multi-generational experience means attention to animal welfare, clean milking practices, and handcrafting small-batch products.
Simple, quality ingredients: We formulate with thoughtful, natural ingredients — no unnecessary fillers or harsh chemicals — so you get the pure benefits of goat milk plus supportive oils and botanicals.
Locally made and small-batch: Producing on our family farm allows us to maintain quality control at every step, from milking to making and to packaging.

How to use our goat milk products
Soap: Use daily for gentle cleansing. Rinse well and pat skin dry to retain moisture.
Body butter: Apply to damp skin after bathing to lock in hydration. Please note that body butters are thicker than lotions.
Sugar scrub: Use 1–2 times weekly to exfoliate, hydrate, and renew skin texture.
Goat milk bath: Add a generous ¼ cup of our powdered goat milk bath to warm bathwater for a soothing soak.

At Schoenfeldt Family Farm, we honor that tradition by producing farm-to-skin products made with care, simple ingredients, and family values.
