New baby goats at the Chivas Skin Care farm!

Soma Get Fit uses Chivas Skin Care products in its body treatments and bodywork.  While you might already know that many of the Chivas products are made with goat milk, you might not know that the we actually raise French Alpine goats on our farm and use the fresh milk in our soaps.   And you definitely don’t know that we just had 4 new baby goats on our farm (because I haven’t even posted this on our own website yet).  We are super excited – the babies, also called “kids”, are adorable, friendly and healthy!

Our newest baby goat at the Chivas Skin Care farm (she is still in need of a fitting name, any ideas?)

.

The baby goats all get along pretty well.  Sometimes they kiss & snuggle.  Sometimes they fake fight.

.

They are all healthy and active, especially “Bart” who you can see here jumping up on the water bucket.  (with his protective mother not far behind)

.

Bart is not only the most active, but also the most friendly.  Here he is jumping up on my leg.  He also likes when I hold his front feet and “dance” with him.

.

Can you tell I have a crush on Bart?  Here he is kissing my hand.  I told you he was friendly!

.

Benefits of goat milk in Soma Get Fit spa products

Chivas Skin Care, starter kit

by Lauren Johanson

All of us here at Chivas Skin Care are excited to be sharing our line of all-natural spa products with Soma Get Fit.  What makes our line unique is that many of our products are made with goat milk.  “Goat what?” you might ask.  Yes, goat milk is the main ingredient in the massage lotion used by Soma Get Fit’s bodywork specialists, as well as the goat milk bath salts and goat milk facial crèmes used for the Soma body treatments and facial treatments (as well as our signature goat milk soaps).

Goat milk has long been regarded as the ultimate skin luxury. It is said that Cleopatra’s beauty secret was bathing in goat milk.  And we now know why!  Goat milk is:

Chivas Skin Care, goat milk

  • Nourishing because it has more vital vitamins and triglycerides (fats) than either cow’s milk or water. It is packed with vitamins A, B, C & D as well as protein, calcium, potassium and magnesium.  Great for mal-nourished skin!
  • Gentle because it has a pH level that is closest to that of our skin.  It contains Caprylic Acid which maintains this low alkalinity. Great for sensitive skin!
  • Moisturizing because its short-strand protein structure allows it to be easily absorbed into the skin.   Great for dry skin!
  • And recommended by dermatologists to patients who suffer from dry skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.
