Donkey milk has been used for generations as therapeutic remedies and healing treatments. It was even used by ancient Egyptian Queen Cleopatra to bathe in daily, and preserve her glowing, youthful complexion. Donkey milk contains a wide variety of anti-inflammatory, anti-ageing and healing properties that can completely transform your skin when applied directly.
Although it can be daunting to introduce new and unfamiliar ingredients into your skincare routine, it is completely normal to ask yourself “will this turn my complexion into pure chaos?” However, understanding the benefits and properties of donkey milk skincare products will put your mind at ease… and prove that donkey milk is the perfect addition to anyone’s skincare routine!
THREE MAIN BENEFITS OF DONKEY MILK SOAP
- HYDRATE: Donkey milk contains proteins that attract and retain water, creating or restoring the natural moisture barrier on the skin. This provides a crucial layer of protection and restores the skin by minimising the appearance of scarring and fine lines and wrinkles…Lather up!
- REJUVINATE: Not only does donkey milk deliver much needed moisture to the skin, it contains high concentrations of naturally occurring lactic acid that encourages the exfoliation of the skin. This assist in skin cell turnover, by gently removing dead skin cells and build up, ensuring soft, rejuvenated skin!
- NOURISH AND SMOOTH: Donkey milk soap has a smooth, creamy consistency that acts as a gentle skin cleanser and chemical exfoliator. Enriched with large amounts of naturally occurring anti-bacterial enzymes, anti-allergens and vitamins A, B, C, D, and E, donkey milk nourishes and softens the skin, to deliver a long lasting, glowing complexion.
DONKEY MILK PROPERTIES…WHY IS IT SO BENEFICIAL?
NUTRIENTS:
Donkey milk is well know for having a dense nutrient profile, containing high concentrations of active vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D, and E. However, it is celebrated especially for its high retinol content. Retinol is a potent form of vitamin A that facilitates the production of collagen within the skin. Collagen is particularly necessary for the regeneration of skin cells and blood vessels near the skins surface that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and increases skin elasticity.
High concentrations of Vitamin D and C in donkey milk deters premature ageing and holds strong ant-inflammatory properties, that can minimise the long-term effects of skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, and acne…Revealing the truth behind donkey milk’s nickname as the "natural elixir of youth!”

ANTI OXIDANTS:
Having such a high concentration of active ingredients is extremely beneficial, even more so as donkey milk contains powerful antioxidants that protect the skin from free radicals and improve collagen production. Antioxidants are beneficial for all skin types and textures, and necessary to protect against environmental damage on the skin.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that deters ‘oxidative stress’ which is cellular damage caused by free radicals such as sun exposure, toxins, or pollutants. Free radicals speed up the ageing processes and are responsible for breaking down our skin's collagen.
