Christophe Lebrun, passionate about donkeys since his childhood, is now at the head of a herd of about thirty donkeys. From this passion, was born in autumn 2017 the first milking of our donkey POLKA. And many others followed.

Concerning the milking, the production of milk in the donkey begins at the birth of the foal, but it will be necessary to wait for the two months of the foal to begin the milking. We obtain milk until the weaning of the foal, between 6 and 8 months.

Our donkeys are milked 3 times a week, once a day. The milk is collected by hand and according to the needs for the manufacture of our soaps.

The quantity obtained varies from one donkey to another and from one day to another.

After milking, the fresh milk is sent to the Elixâne soap factory in Seine Maritime in Vieux Rouen Sur Bresles for manufacturing.

The soap base is entirely vegetable and enriched with perfume oil.

The perfumes are created from essential oils or fruit extracts and the colourings are created from clay (green, yellow, pink or red).

Sometimes dried petals (mint, marigold) or crushed apricot kernels are added as an exfoliant.

Donkey milk is added FRESH to the preparation.

The packaging is done by us.
