Donkey milk

[jgonza132]

Hello,

I would like to find a place that sells donkey milk but haven't been able to find any for sale. I would like to put it in some lotions and maybe soaps.

Does anyone know of a place that sells it?

Thanks!

No idea, but keep us posted. I would love to hear how it performs compared to goats milk.

my guess would be youd need to A) be in the middle east or Peru, or B) have a good local source, I dont think anyone would carry that as there really is no market for it that I am aware of (now if you were in china, donkey meat= big market)...

maybe check chinese markets, they may have donkey milk???

lol

Actually, down here in southern NM, there are lots of donkeys (burros). But I don't think I have seen the milk for sale anywhere. Pity, or I could fill my tub and play Cleopatra.

If I want milk from an ass, I'll ask my ex to run to the grocery store for me.

Yes I have realized that its really hard to get it here in the states. I might have to buy myself the donkey! Anyway, the grandmother of a good friend that is from Ecuador used to make this lotion that was "famous" there and it contained donkey milk. I am trying to get the formula from them.

I will keep looking, maybe if I see some donkeys at nearby farms I might stop and ask.

keep in mind that the milk really will need to be pasteurized before using it in lotion - preservatives can only do so much...

lol Id say buy the donkey, then you have an unlimited supply of donkey milk

I know where you can buy it in Europe.
I suppose if you can't find it in the US you can always order it from them:

You can find their email following the "kontakt" link on the left menu. They do speak English.

Happy soaping

Just a suggestion, why not try posting to local sites like craigslist.com? That's how I found someone with fresh goat's milk until our girls freshened. Might not come up with anything, but it couldn't hurt to try it either.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that. I contact some people from Germany that sells powder milk but its quite expensive plus shipping etc.
