Donkey Milk Beauty Products

I’ve been hearing more and more about Donkey Milk in soaps & beauty treatments. It seems this is an ancient ingredient for beauty! According to the Bohemian Style website:

“Last year, archaeologists in London discovered what may be a 2,000 year old jar of face cream. The ingredients are unknown, but one leading theory is that they include donkey’s milk.

That is hardly a surprise to many high end cosmetics companies, cosmetologists and dermatologists: in literature and cinema, the legend of Cleopatra frequently recurs. This famous beauty bathed in donkey’s milk in order to keep her skin radiant and youthful.

Biochemical analysis of donkey milk enables us to determine its precise dermatological role. Donkey’s milk contains an incredible amount of fatty acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, D and E, minerals and high proteins that help skin feel smooth and silky. Thanks to this composition, donkey milk is extremely effective against dry skin and wrinkles: it’s a natural tensor, able to prevent skin from aging and also regenerate it. Donkey milk is the closest in composition to human milk from any mammal!

Donkey milk was highly prized by ancient peoples. The Greeks considered it an excellent remedy, the Romans regarded it as a luxury drink. Hippocrates recommended it for all sorts of maladies : poisonings and snake bites, joint pains, wounds, etc. In fact, in the 19th century, and even at the beginning of the 20th, many people used it as a remedy. At that time, especially in Paris, many “donkey milk dairies” were established so that upper class women could purchase the precious beverage. “
