If you are a natural beauty lover and a new mother then you must try making breast milk soap while you can. 

Using breast milk in beauty items is a natural beauty secret that has been slept on for too long – so, today we are going to change that. By sharing the wonders of breast milk soap with you. 

We will talk you through what it is, its benefits, how long you can store it for, and share our favorite recipe with you. 

What Is Breast Milk Soap? 

Breast milk soap is a great way to make use of any leftover breast milk that you have left lying around the house. 

Most people don’t want to make their leftover breast milk into food or drinks because they find the concept off-putting. But breast milk is an incredibly nutritious ingredient that adults can benefit from consuming too. 

However, if you cannot convince the rest of your family to eat it then there are other things you can do with your breast milk – including making beauty products out of it. 

Breast milk soap is a simple natural beauty product that you can make a home and use for months. It also doesn’t end up smelling like any kind of milk – which can worry a lot of people when they make the product. 

When you make your own soap and skincare products you can be sure that you know exactly what is going into them. You can make sure there are no harmful chemicals or other ingredients that permanently damage your family’s skin. 

Some people have even said that they have been able to treat their baby’s skin issues with breast milk soap. 

Benefits of Breast Milk Soap 

There are a nearly endless amount of benefits to using breast milk soap. 

Firstly, nothing goes to waste. Your body is naturally producing breast milk and will do so until your child moves on to more solid foods. You might find that you end up with a lot more milk than your child can drink. Make it into soap and stop it from going to waste. 

Another benefit of breast milk soap is that it can help to treat skin issues. Breast milk has been used by many cultures for wart removal, healing injuries, moisturizing skin, and even relieving itchy bites and skin conditions, like eczema and psoriasis. 

Some people also claim that breast milk can be used topically to help with bacterial infections and to soothe inflammation. 

You may not know this but breast milk is one of the few ingredients that are naturally rich in the five main vitamins skin needs to be healthy. These vitamins are Vitamin A, B, C, D, and E. The last one is the most important. Using breast milk soap on the skin can be deeply nourishing. 

When you make breast milk soap, you will mix it with other ingredients. You should consider mixing it with honey, olive oil, and oats. Why? Because breast milk can actually enhance the healing properties of these ingredients. 

Finally, you can even sell breast milk online if you have a lot of it leftover. There is a big market for it, especially with mothers who are no longer able to make their own. 

Another reason why this soap is so popular is that many consider it vegan – no animals were harmed in its making. And you can still get the benefits of using a natural beauty product with dairy in it. 

Does Breast Milk Soap Go Bad? 

We frequently get asked how long breast milk soap lasts. 

Many people think it is something that goes off very quickly because it is made of milk. But this is not the case. 

All soap does go bad eventually, however, most ingredients used to make soaps are antimicrobial and some form of preservative. You will find that a batch of breast milk soap will last for 6-7 months. 

The best way to tell if the soap has gone off is to look at the type of lather it produces. It will get less creamy once the soap has gone past its best.
