Dairy Yoghurt

Bos taurus

Tasmania is renowned for its lush dairy pastures and healthy dairy industry. We use Tasmanian, unsweetened, full cream, all-natural yoghurt in our soap. Yoghurt has long been recognised as a skin enhancer. For instance, ancient Egypt’s Cleopatra was famous for her daily sour milk baths to keep her skin beautiful. Your skin can benefit too:

Anti-inflammatory: it contains zinc, which has anti-inflammatory properties — it can help reduce red swelling caused by acne or rashes. It is also a mild astringent and can assist with tightening tissues, alleviating acne and pimples and help to regulate oil production in the sebaceous glands, thereby preventing oily skin and frequent acne breakouts;
Exfoliates and moisturises: it contains lactic acid which exfoliates and moisturises dry skin to make it smooth; it helps prevent wrinkles and reduces the appearance of already-existing wrinkles;
Skin renewal: it contains calcium and antioxidants, helping to prevent and heal dry skin and it also facilitates skin growth — much of the epidermal layer of the skin consists of calcium!

There’s really something quite special about yoghurts affinity with human skin. Thank you to the lovely dairy cows for providing the wonderful milk that becomes yoghurt. Delight in it!
