Donkey Milk: The Legendary Softness

Antiquity's most famous beauty secret. Rich in vitamins and exquisitely gentle, this traditional active ingredient has pampered delicate, dry, or reactive skin since Cleopatra. Today, it can be found in soaps, creams, and body lotions, alone or combined with the plant-based nourishment of prickly pear.

Donkey milk is one of the few animal milks whose composition is as close to breast milk: fine proteins, mild sugars, light lipids, and a profile of vitamins A, B, C, and E. It is this similarity that explains its reputation for tolerance and its place among the gentlest active ingredients in natural cosmetics. It provides immediate comfort to the skin, a sensation of nourishment, and a velvety softness that has been associated with the most delicate skin since antiquity.

It is found in several forms in skincare and ranges: in superfatted soap, in day or night cream, in fluid body lotion, sometimes in shower gel or in discovery sets. In cosmetics, it is most often used in lyophilized (powder) form, a stable form that preserves most of its richness. Its gentleness makes it an ingredient of choice for products intended for both face and body, for dry, reactive, or mature skin.

Regarding its origin, quality donkey milk comes from ethical, ideally organic, channels where foals stay with their mother and where the milking of the jenny is gentle and limited. This criterion is as important as the composition when choosing a good product.

Its cosmetic benefits explain its wide use: face and body cleansing, dry skin care, bath rituals, and even some gentle hair uses. For men or women, its softening properties are suitable for all delicate skin types; this is what has built its reputation and loyal reviews for generations.
