I think that if people are so willing to use/eat/wear animal products, the idea of human breastmilk should not be disgusting. Gimme a break people. Cows’ milk (among other animal milks) is in a ton of beauty products and people consume it by the gallons and yet our own milk is repulsive? Go ahead and research farming practices and the treatment of those animals and you’ll really get squeamish! As for the chemicals…take a look at the labels on your expensive beauty products. If you can’t pronounce the ingredients, chances are you shouldn’t be slathering it on your skin.

I’m suspicious if it complies with ethics.

I love how people think that anything to do with human breast milk is disgusting but they’ll drink, make cheese with, and even bathe in milk from a cow in some unknown factory farm any day. What is really more disgusting?

To say women don’t make enough milk for soap is crazy! Some women may not but I can tel you that I sure do! I can pump for 1 minute and get a oz of milk and I can pump for even longer and still have enough for my daughter! I am a soap maker and I amgoing to try my breastmilk soap for only my family. I don’t think it is weird for my family but I wouldn’t use it if it were another womens milk.

The reason I got to the site is because I was looking for a recipe to make soap with my left over breast milk. Like other mothers here, I froze breast milk, it’s too old for my son and he will not drink it. And I worked hard to get that milk. I am NOT wasting it! I don’t understand the women who think using the breast mild is gross. Going through child birth is not exactly a “pretty” process. But beautiful in it’s own way. I think the reason some women find using breast milk to be appalling, is that they see anything coming out of our bodies as gross. There is no logic going on there. You find breast milk gross but other mammal milk, intestines (used for sausage), cow stomach (tripe), brains, livers, giblets, etc OK?
