    Billie Goat Soap?

    Did anyone see the ACA story, wondering if anyone has used something like this?

    Both girls have sensitive skin and DD1s back has been very dry.
    Wondering if it's worth trying?

    My dad has ordered it. He saw it on a CA program as well. He has terrible psoriasis and swears it is working.
    I was using a goats milk soap for my own terrible skin, but here there is no humidity and using a soap is just not feasible on already dry skin.

    Its not too expensive, but it lasts and lasts...if you buy the bar soap get a little rack to it dries between uses so it lasts longer, if it stays wet it kind of melts kwim?

    Don't know anything about the soap, but have you heard of taking molasses for skin problems?

    No I hadn't, the girls are normally ok but have bouts of eczema and we've been showering a lot more with them rather than baths.
    I stupidly bought a kids body wash and now both girls are really dry

    Google "molasses eczema" and there are heaps of articles. DH uses it and it clears up his psoriasis like nothing else we've found. Quite amazing really! But it has to be blackstrap molasses (you can get it in the supermarket).

    just the plain soap bar and the regular body wash didn't bother with the baby stuff and we have never had a problem.

    the MCHN i saw when DS was little recommended it for his eczema - because she used it & loved it. i ended up with moogoo but she did give me some of hers to try & it did seem pretty good. i thought she said she got it at myer, but i'm not 100%.

    Surprisingly one of the gift shops here actually has some BUT the price is a little more expensive than the website so i might look at the website for the wash & the soap and see what postage is and see if it's not cheaper to just wait.
    PO5 roughly how much is your soap from the chemist?

    DS and I use the bar soap, I have quite dry and reactive skin, and it's worked well here. Not sure how much you 'should' be paying, we're lucky enough to have a locally made one that's $2 a bar. I found them at our local markets. If it's expensive in the shops, maybe try a market? I think it's ALWAYS worth a try!!

    Only 1 stockist has it here, i was thinking of just trying a 'goats' soap but i've asked a few people now who have said this is def worth it.
    i can get it online and even with postage it's $6 cheaper than to drive to town and buy it.
