the G.O.A.T. lotion

We were so grateful for the opportunity to showcase our goat milk products at the 2024 Festhalle's Market in Cullman, Alabama. It was a true blessing to connect with so many wonderful individuals in our community. Thank you to all our patrons for supporting local artisans and embracing the goodness of our products. As we prepare for 2025, we look forward to continuing to provide our community with high-quality goat milk products.

the G.O.A.T. lotion

At Guinea Station Farms, we take pride in our exceptional goat milk lotion. Crafted with 76% raw goat milk from our very own Nigerian Dwarf Goats, this nourishing formula eschews the typical water-diluted recipes. Through meticulous research, we've carefully selected a blend of high-quality ingredients that result in a supremely silky, moisturizing and exfoliating lotion.

WHY GOAT MILK?

Goat milk is a powerhouse for skin health, packed with essential vitamins A, B1, B6, B12, C, and E. Its unique fat and protein content helps reduce inflammation, while the lactic acid and alpha-hydroxy acids gently exfoliate by melting away dead skin cells. This stimulates cell turnover, bringing up healthy new cells and boosting collagen production. The other vitamins and fats then work to deeply hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier. With an impressive 6.3-10% butterfat, Nigerian Dwarf Goat milk is truly the G.O.A.T. of skin-nourishing milks.

WHY EMULSIFYING WAX?

GSF uses Non-GMO Emulsifying Wax NF Pastilles. This product is a gentle emulsifying and conditioning agent, perfect for skin applications. It leaves skin with a lovely, silky, and powdery feel. 100% natural plant derived.

WHY OLIVE OIL?

Olive Oil is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K. Each of these vitamins benefits the skin. Specifically, vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects the skin from damage caused by free radical.

WHY GRAPESEED OIL?

The anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties of grapeseed oil make it ideal for acne-prone skin. Since this oil contains lots of vitamin C, you can use it to help with hyperpigmentation. Grapeseed oil is not only rich in vitamin C, but also very high in vitamin E.

WHY AVACADO OIL?

Avocado oil is a powerful natural ingredient that offers a wide range of benefits for the skin. It deeply moisturizes and nourishes, relieving inflammation from conditions like psoriasis and eczema. Avocado oil also helps prevent and treat acne, accelerates wound healing, and provides soothing relief for sunburned skin.

WHY AFRICAN SHEA BUTTER?

African Shea butter is an incredibly nourishing and moisturizing ingredient for skin. It contains natural vitamins, fatty acids, and compounds like lupeol cinnamate that reduce inflammation and may even help prevent skin damage. Shea butter helps smooth skin, boosts collagen production, and provides a blend of protective fatty acids like oleic, stearic, palmitic, and linolenic to prevent dryness. With regular use, many people report softer, stronger skin and a reduction in wrinkles.

Why Coco Jojo Preservative Blend?

Coco Jojo's premium natural skincare products are formaldehyde, halogen, and paraben-free. They are easy to handle and suitable for both leave-on and rinse-off personal care products. Dehydroacetic acid, Benzyl Alcohol, and water work in harmony to extend the shelf life our products, preventing spoilage and ensuring longevity.
