Come and discover how we make our donkey milk soaps, using our traditional method. The fresh milk we use comes from an eco-responsible asinerie in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France, where the donkeys are raised in transhumance and fed exclusively on wild grass, hay and organic cereals. You'll also be able to watch our scented soaps being cold-processed in our workshop.
