Donkey’s milk is an emerging premium ingredient in the personal care industry and the newest addition to Stephenson’s line of melt and pour soap bases. It’s been used for centuries due to its high nutrient content and rejuvenating qualities. Cleopatra was known for taking baths in donkey’s milk as a beauty treatment.

This mild soap base is a very gentle cleanser that is a perfect option for baby soaps and sensitive skin. It has a beautiful, creamy lather with soothing properties that deeply moisturize. Easily create luxurious melt and pour soaps that rival the new upscale donkey milk products that are becoming increasingly popular in Europe.

Love Donkeys Milk Base!

Robin B 2025-01-02

One of the best soap bases I have ever used. I have used, Shea, coconut milk, and mango bases and Donkeys Milk is better. Leaves my skin clean, soft and hydrated. Rinses clean, no sticky or slimy residue. Lots of creamy lather (not bubbly lather). Great for my daughter's eczema - her skin is moisturized and less itchy. Base holds fragrance well. I used Citrus Sunshine at 3% and it smells great! I will say the base is very difficult to get out of the plastic container - I ended up cutting it into smaller blocks with a heavy duty metal spatula and prying out the first row, breaking the plastic tub in the process. I will definitely keep purchasing as the base is that good!

So lovely, so soft, second to the olive oil soap

This is so much softer than goat milk. Love love love. Please don't ever get rid of this melt and pour base at this price.

Great product but with caveat

Devoted Candle Science Customer 2022-12-31

The donkey milk soap is Devine. The only drawback is, how in the world do you get it out of the plastic container the 2 lb quantity is in. It doesn’t just plup out when you turn the container over, I bent a really sturdy spoon trying to spoon it out. Then I used a knife to try and cut it out and broke the blade on the knife. There has to be some secret how to get the soap out of that plastic container. If anyone knows, please share it.

Great experience for first time soap maker

Layla J 2022-05-22

It was extremely easy to use. Was fairly unscented which made it great for adding fragrance to. Did not take too long to set and held it shape very well. The quality of the soap is also good. Great lather and moisturizing. Also great price
