Woman Makes Bathing Soap from Breast Milk, Sees Skin Glow

Published on July 6, 2020

Ashley White, a 31-year-old mother of two, has been making soap from her breast milk, a product her family uses and loves. The idea came to her after seeing other mothers do it, and she's now considering starting a business with the product.

According to Ashley, her milk coming in was a huge relief, and she expressed quite a bit and built up a stash in the freezer. She uses a microwave to melt glycerine before adding some breast milk and other important oils to make the soap.

Her family, including her husband, Paul, and daughters Mylee and Mia, have all been using the soap and love how it nurtures their skin. Ashley is now looking at selling the soap for KSh 400 to 500 per bar.

She's received positive online interest and is considering starting a business with the product. Whenever she launches, she's looking at selling the soap for KSh 400 to 500 per bar.
