Donkey milk is a powerful moisturiser full of healing, nutritional and rejuvenating properties for the skin. Rich in fatty acids, it allows the reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps to regenerate damaged skin.
Donkey milk adds creaminess to the soap and the sugars in the milk add bubbly lather. Hydrates and softens skin. Donkey’s milk has a pH level very close to the pH level of human’s skin, it helps to moisturize and keep the skin’s oils in balance. Reduces skin irritations too!
We are now members of the Guild of Craft Soap and Toiletry Makers, Cath Swindells one of our owners took the plunge and became a Master Soap maker during the lockdown in 2020.
