While this brand was available in about 2012 in very select branches of SpaceNK, it disappeared until it was bought by Unilever and brought back. Actually, the entire range is returning in dribs and drabs but the better news is that the famously good Goat Milk Moisturizing Cream is now available.
Of all the products we had to rely on madly stocking up while in the USA or badgering friends and relatives to get re-supplies, this moisturizer was one of the most wanted. I remember coming across Kate Somerville in New York and being really excited about it at first glance. The sales assistant told me on that day it was coming over to the UK and in due course, it did.
So, what’s great about Goat Milk Moisturizer? Much of its appeal is that it contains lactic acids which will leave your skin so much smoother by gently exfoliating than hydrating products that don’t contain it. Now, it used to be indicated for problem skin as well as sensitive skin and I notice that the former claim has gone as has Black Willow Bark (aka salicylic acid) as in ingredient. Instead, there is a small amount of witch hazel and antiseptic rosemary so if you have problematic skin over and above sensitivities, you may find it suits your skin well. Actually, there are quite a few ingredient changes but it’s high in fatty acids and omegas (avocado oil, coconut, sunflower) and quite frankly, a bit of a treat. I’m not that keen on the airless pump – I see the advantages but the disadvantages are that you won’t know if you’re nearly out and have no chance to scrape the very last drops out of the pot.
It’s also gone up by a fiver since it was last here – so it’s now £55 HERE.

Hi Jane, actually I used to use another product in very similar packaging and was pleased to find that the top just unscrewed so one actually could get every last smidgen 🙂 – worth a try!
great tip, thank you!
Hi Jane do you know if they have changed the ingredients from the us version? Every website that I try and check redirects me to the uk one!
I know that sometimes there are formulation tweaks to get past EU skincare regulations.
Yes, the formulation is different and it’s had to go through some for that very reason. Caroline Hirons has a full USA ingredient list on her site. xx
This saved my skin when it suddenly broke out from a lush mask (oatmeal). I stoped using my other 8 products and just simplified it to toner (Yonka) and this for the winter.my dehydrated skin drank it up. And my skin recovered. Been meaning to try this again. Hope it’s still as light and hydrating as befor.
