Review It Wednesday -- It's Udderly Amazing!

I love goat's milk products. While I'm not one to drink goat's milk, or cow's milk for that matter, I do like to wash or moisturize my body with products made from it.

 Udderly Amazing is one of the many companies offering soaps and lotions made goat's milk and that couldn't make me happier! Recently, I received some free samples of Udderly Amazing products from Natural Products Network, including a small bar of soap and a 4 oz. bottle of lotion. While the products were not sent to me in exchange for a review, I thought they were more than worth one.

Let's start with this nifty little bar of soap. One of the cool things about Udderly Amazing is that you can choose scents for their products. The soap I'm using is scented with essential patchouli oil. Other scents available include 

• eucalyptus
• lavender
• peppermint
• peppermint/chamomile
• tea tree
• and simply soap (unscented)

This goat's milk soap lathers nicely and leaves hands feeling clean and moisturized. I'm a fan. 

Ingredient-wise, it doesn't get much better than this. Udderly Amazing Louisiana Secret Recipe Goat Milk Soap is made from a one-of-a-kind recipe that starts out with the raw milk of the family's hand-raised goats. The pH in goat's milk so closely resembles the pH in humans, that it is naturally moisturizing, even without the additional ingredients, which include saponified coconut oil (we all know that's good for your skin), saponified soybean oil, saponified cottonseed oil and saponified olive oil. The soap is also rich in nutrients like zinc and vitamins C, A and B-complex.

What's not to love about it? And it's safe for the entire family. No toxins. No harmful chemicals. Just natural moisturizing goodness.

And then, there's the lotion. The Udderly Soothing Everyday Lotion is just that ... soothing. I have the unscented lotion, although I would love to try the honey almond. It also comes in lavender and peppermint/chamomile. 

The lotion is not greasy, nor is is sticky, like some body and hand lotions can be. It has a smooth and easy application and absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it soft and touchable. Ahhh. And, like the soap, it's gentle enough for the whole family, with ingredients like aloe vera whole leaf juice, safflower oil, shea butter and natural vitamin E.

The benefits of goat's milk are outlined on the Udderly Amazing website. Goat milk soap is good for sensitive skin, eczema, and acne. It exfoliates and its moisturizing properties rival all the expensive, and often toxic, products on the market. Udderly Amazing offers its products with competitive pricing in mind. The soap sells for $4.95 a bar and the 8 oz. bottle of lotion goes for $12.95.


There's not a lot else for me to say about these two products, other than to say they come from a pretty cool family that started out with two Nubian goats named Grace and Little Bit. You can read their story here.


While I give the Udderly Soothing Everyday Lotion and the Louisiana Secret Recipe Goat Milk Soap a green thumbs up, I will caution you on one thing. If you are no pooing or are simply using vinegar as a hair rinse, do not lather up with the goat milk soap. Why? Well, you figure it out. Milk and vinegar. It just might conjure up memories of the smell outside on the lawn of the fraternity house on a Friday night at college. Minus the alcohol, of course.


Reviewing it for you,
