That is what the GIraFFE Study™ found in infants fed Capricare Whole Goat Milk Formula (WGF™). It is the largest study ever conducted on goat milk formula, and one of the largest infant formula studies in history.
A double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial, widely regarded as the most robust gold standard of scientific research.
The largest study ever conducted on goat milk formula, with over 2,100 infants enrolled.
Led by by a world-renowned expert in infant nutrition at an independent academic research institution.
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is one of the most common skin conditions in a baby's first year. It is chronic and inflammatory, and it means itchy, uncomfortable skin for babies and broken sleep for parents.
That first year is the window where prevention matters most.
Over 2,100 healthy, full-term babies were randomly assigned to Capricare WGF or a standard cow milk formula, then followed through 12 months. Here is what the doctor-diagnosed results showed:
These findings are specific to Capricare WGF (Stage 1 and Stage 2), not to goat milk formula as a category.
When eczema was assessed by study staff at three scheduled visits (the study's primary measure), the two formulas were similar. The reductions above come from eczema diagnosed by a doctor at any point across the 12 months.

Capricare is gently processed and made in New Zealand by the Dairy Goat Co-operative. The formulation is what was tested in the study, which is why the results apply to Capricare specifically. Unlike cow milk formula or skim goat milk formula, Capricare naturally contains:
✔ Whole goat milk as the only protein source
✔ The natural whey-to-casein balance of whole goat milk (around 20:80), with no added whey
✔ Approximately half of the total fat from naturally occurring goat milk fat, requiring less added oil
