Soothing and Sweet

The gentle benefits of farm-fresh goat's milk, combined with the moisturizing properties of olive oil, are featured in a new line of skincare products from Canus Goat's Milk. Besides soap, the new, all-natural Olive Oil & Wheat Protein line includes body butters, lotions, and body washes, all rich in vitamin E and other nutrients that are easily absorbed and non-irritating. Lightly scented and perfect for sensitive skin, Canus also produces a children's line that includes baby wipes, tearless shampoo, soaps, and lotions. The goat's milk used in all products is sourced from two dairy farms that support over 2,500 goats (goats collectively, in case you're wondering, are referred to as tribes). The milk contains capric and caprylic acids that are naturally low in alkalinity, similar to the pH levels in healthy skin. Founded in Quebec, Canus has expanded its operations to include headquarters in Vermont, with products distributed throughout Canada, the U.S., and select markets worldwide. The company actively participates in supporting community projects in both Canada and the U.S., including environmental initiatives, camps for victims of cancer, and meal delivery service for those suffering from AIDS. www.canusgoatsmilk.com
