Mother’s milk is known as White Gold, due to its incredible properties and immense potential as food, skincare and cosmetic ingredient.
It’s perfect for babies and the whole family. It’s the best ally against everyday boo-boos and other skin problems.
Mother’s milk is antioxidant, healing, moisturizing and softening, but also, more surprisingly, has a healthy glow, anti-aging and disinfectant properties… By incorporating it into your cosmetics, you can accumulate all these benefits.
And what better way to start than by creating breast-milk soap for a moment of well-being.

Info ++ :
Breast milk recipes are an ideal solution for using expired milk, bottle scraps or milk that is unfit for consumption.
It’s also a good solution for using lipase milk that baby refuses to take, because as a soap it remains perfect for the skin, and the smell will be camouflaged by coconut oil or donkey’s milk soap.
