Mom Uses Her Own Breastmilk to Make Soap
A list of ingredients on the Mothers Moon handcrafted all natural soaps: “olive oil, honey, glycerin, breastmilk.” Wait, what?
Yes, folks, she uses her own breastmilk in the Mothers Moon Breastmilk Soap. And you can get three ounces for just $3!
I don’t know whether to thank the friend who sent this my way or wash my eyes out . . . with non-milky soap, natch.
The soap comes out of Winslow, Maine where the soapmaker also offers doula services, reiki, henna pregnancy art and belly castings. All new age-y things that can be totally awesome. But we’re still caught up on her breastmilk.
And we’re thinking not so much. Because the cool thing that most women talk about (especially those with a new age bent - let’s face it) is the fact that it’s milk made JUST FOR her baby. Never heard a dang thing about it cleaning my baby - or me for that matter.
What do you think - nice or nasty?

Trrriiippyyy~~~~ you've been ripped off! - Hippymom - An Evolution of Female Community commented on Nov 14 09 at 8:42 amMistress_Scorpio commented on Oct 09 09 at 7:47 pmI work in a spa where one of the best selling products for facials is bovine colostrum. I see hair conditioners that advertise that they have placenta. We constantly consume dairy products from other species, but human milk always gets the squick factor. I don’t get it. At least I know what to do with those frozen bags of boob juice in the freezer that have gotten a bit dated.

Lucky commented on Oct 12 09 at 1:17 pmWhy are people so grossed out by human milk and not by cow’s milk?
Blair commented on Oct 14 09 at 4:24 pmThis article made me laugh. Where do you think cow’s milk comes from? How’s that any different?
Jen Mueller commented on Oct 15 09 at 6:59 amAt least our soap making mom is probably not hopped up on artificial hormones and prophylactic antibiotics like most cows.
princess commented on Nov 10 09 at 10:07 pmMother s breast milk is suppose to be on of the most sterile things to use on o babies booboo’s it also contains lots of good antibodies. I think it is a greatidea.
