A donkey milk body lotion or body milk is a light body care product that contains donkey milk as a key ingredient. It moisturizes, absorbs quickly, and leaves skin feeling smooth and well cared for. Our Body Milk contains 30% donkey milk. It is most pleasant to use directly after showering or bathing.
Body Milk, Lotion or Cream: What's the Difference?
The terms are often mixed up in everyday language. Broadly speaking, the products differ in their consistency, i.e., the ratio of water to oil:
| Product type | Consistency | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Body Milk / Body Milk | Liquid to light cream, high water content | Whole body, quick care after showering |
| Body lotion | Slightly thicker than Body Milk, easy to spread | Whole body, daily care |
| Cream | Thick and rich, higher oil content | Smaller areas such as face, hands, feet, elbows |
Body Milk and body lotion are very similar. Many manufacturers use the terms almost interchangeably. What matters is how the product feels on your skin: A Body Milk is usually the lightest version and is ideal if you want to get dressed quickly after applying it.
What a Donkey Milk Body Milk Does Cosmetically
Donkey milk is a low-fat milk with lactose, protein, and minerals. In a Body Milk, it is part of the aqueous phase of the formulation. Cosmetically, this means:
- The Body Milk cares for the skin and moisturizes.
- The skin feels smooth and pleasant.
- Dry skin looks better cared for after application.
- The light scent of a sea breeze accompanies the care without being overpowering.
A Body Milk is a cosmetic product. It does not treat skin conditions. If your skin is persistently irritated, scaly, or cracked, please have it checked by a dermatologist.
Application After Showering
- Pat dry gently: After showering or bathing, gently pat the skin so that it is still slightly damp.
- Portion out: Put a small amount of Body Milk in the palm of your hand. It is better to take more several times than too much at once.
- Apply: Massage the Body Milk in with circular motions – arms, legs, stomach, back, as far as you can reach.
- Let absorb: Wait a moment until the skin no longer feels damp, and then get dressed.
For particularly dry areas such as elbows, knees, or feet, you can additionally use a richer cream, such as our donkey milk care cream. For the face, there is a separate donkey milk face cream.
Body Care with Donkey Milk Through the Seasons
The skin does not feel the same all year round. You can adjust your routine accordingly:
- Winter: Heating air and cold outdoors often make the skin appear drier. Apply cream regularly after every shower and prefer shorter, lukewarm showers.
- Spring: As it gets warmer, a light Body Milk is often enough for many instead of rich creams.
- Summer: A light texture absorbs quickly and feels pleasant in the heat. Important: A Body Milk is not a substitute for sun protection.
- Autumn: After summer, the skin may feel drier. Now is the time for consistent care after showering.
To match this, our 3-in-1 donkey milk shampoo cleanses hair and body in one step. You can find all products in our donkey milk cosmetics.
What to Look for in a Donkey Milk Body Lotion
- Percentage content: A clearly stated donkey milk content makes products comparable.
- INCI list: The further up donkey milk is listed, the higher its content. You can find the ingredients (INCI) of our Body Milk on the packaging or on the product page of the donkey milk Body Milk.
- Scent: If you are sensitive to fragrances, check the ingredients beforehand.
- Patch test: For sensitive skin, test the Body Milk first on a small area on the forearm and wait 24 hours.
How to Store Your Body Milk Properly
To ensure the Body Milk feels pleasant right down to the last drop, proper storage is also important. Close the bottle after each use. Store it at room temperature and away from direct sunlight, so not permanently on a sunny windowsill or directly next to a heater. The symbol with the open jar on the packaging shows how long the product can be used after opening. If the smell, color, or consistency changes significantly, do not use the product anymore.
