Yes — for those whose hands are frequently washed or exposed to drying conditions, consistent use can help keep skin soft and comfortable.

Goat Milk and Starflower Cream contains borage oil just like our original cream but the key difference it that is also contains Goat Milk. Goat’s milk is valued in skincare for its naturally creamy texture and nourishing lipids, helping skin feel softer and more comfortable. Goat's milk contains a unique profile of fatty acids, including medium‑chain triglycerides, that closely resemble the structure of human skin lipids. This makes goat‑milk‑based creams particularly gentle and compatible with sensitive or eczema‑prone skin, as they support rather than disrupt the skin's natural balance.

Together, with borage oil it creates a deeply nurturing base that helps relieve dryness and restore comfort to skin that is dry, very dry or sensitive. This cream is especially suited to skin that needs comfort and lasting moisture.

It closely mirrors your skin's own chemistry. Unlike many synthetic alternatives, goat's milk shares a similar pH to human skin, meaning it works with your skin's natural protective barrier rather than disrupting it, making it far less likely to cause irritation or upset the skin's delicate microbiome.

Borage oil is a plant-derived oil pressed from the seeds of the borage plant (Borago officinalis), also known as starflower — which is where the "starflower oil" name comes from. They are the same thing.


Its big claim to fame in skincare is its exceptionally high content of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) — an omega-6 fatty acid that the body uses to maintain healthy skin cell membranes. It's one of the richest plant sources of GLA available, higher even than evening primrose oil, which is better known.


GLA plays a direct role in the skin's ability to hold onto moisture. When skin is deficient in it, the cell walls weaken, moisture escapes more easily, and you get the tightness, flaking and irritation associated with dry or eczema-prone skin. Applying borage oil topically helps replenish those lipids from the outside in, supporting barrier repair and reducing moisture loss over time.

Yes, Napiers Goat Milk & Starflower Cream is suitable for those aged 6 years and above. For children under 6 years we recommend our Baby Starflower Cream.
