And are obviously not parents, who have nursed. Our milk contains so many antibodies and it's healing properties can be used on a Mothersand her own child!! Not soap made from any lady's milk sold to or used on random people. I plan on treating my own face with my milk. It makes sense & it's free!!! The people who have negativity on here are just uneducated & shouldn't comment till they are parents I can't wait to see of it works on my stretch marks!!!

As many others have stated, "True Soap" which is classified exactly that way by the Consumer Product Safety Commission a branch of the FDA. This is the legal common definition of, handmade with sodium hydroxide soap, no lye, no soap, no lie. Others can claim to be beauty bars or moisture bars but they are nothing more than detergent. Once saponificaiton has completed the caustic soda or lye has done it's job which is to convert fats/oils into soap and glycerin and is gone. Glycerin is a wonderful moisturizer. It is a humectant, which means it actually draws moisture to itself. That said, mothers milk, regardless of the type of the mothers species is pure perfection. Since the beginning of time, societies utilized wet nurses when mother was either to busy, or unable to nurse her own baby. This practice was particularly vogue if you had copious amounts of money. We make premium soaps out of all types of milk because milk which is high in lactic acid is a skin softener and it clears up all sorts of rashes. Obviously, no one is suggesting to deprive your infant of nourishment to make a beautiful Mothers Milk Soap. But if you are among those blessed with abundant milk supply, by all means make soap. Your babies skin will thank you for it and the entire family can use it. You won't go back to commerical beauty bars, I guarantee that. It's milk, afterall, it's a wonderful gift to us all. If you're not a soaper but would like to turn your extra supply into soap visit our website, Soap is what we do.

Like the few other posters stated, it's not soap if it does not go through SAPONIFICATION, it's a chemical process in which lye and oils react, the end product is soap. Detergent bars are NOT soap if they do not go through this process which they generally do not. Look at your typical bar of dove soap, look at the box, does it state that it is soap? No because it cannot make that claim, it is merely a "moisturizing bar." I thought you were chemists but now I rather doubt that........ To answer about the mother's milk - why the heck not, I am always open to trying new things. Beauty Brains you disapoint and offend me with your ignorance about soap.

A gal had homemade breast milk soap. Dr. Oz had a team of scientist evaluate the product and it is indeed a "true beauty" solution. Scowl if you will but it is indeed a good thing to have/use.
