Discover what makes Swiss milk a must-have in our bath soaks.

When you think of Swiss milk you might think of lovely fresh cheese or rich decadent chocolate, but we think, clean beauty! Milk is one of the best natural beauty ingredients. Read on to discover more about what makes Swiss milk in particular so special, and why we chose to make it our hero ingredient in Le Milk Bar bath soaks.

Milk has amazing properties

Milk is a powerful beauty ingredient because it is rich in naturally-occuring fatty lactic acid. This alpha hydroxy acid exfoliates the skin and helps to stimulate new cell growth, meaning it can give you silky, soft glowing skin without the need for excessive rubbing or harsh synthetic chemicals. Milk is also packed with vitamins A, D and E, as well as lactose and proteins that help restore the skin barrier.

Swiss milk is extra special

We use only the best full-fat Swiss milk powders in our bath soaks, to ensure the highest quality and finest texture. All the powders we use are food-grade and they are so pure they’re even used by Switzerland’s master chocolatiers. There is no better milk available. If there was, we’d use it! Swiss milk is regularly tested for germ content and usually achieves a 99.7% impeccable rating. That means it is incredibly pure, non-toxic and perfect for use in products designed for sensitive skins.

It’s all because of the cows

They say happy cows make happy milk, which might be the reason why our Swiss milk powder is just so amazing. In Switzerland cows eat only sustainable GMO-free feed, as well as aromatic grasses, clover and herbs when they are put out to pasture on the lush mountains. Each Swiss farmer has an average of 26 cows that they care for and they love their animals so much that each cow will always have a name. (Tulip and Bella are the most popular choices!) We are proud to use only authentic Swiss milk in our products, as it means we are sourcing locally, reducing our carbon footprint and supporting the highest level of welfare for animals.

Our unique milk soak blend

We love to use luxury Swiss milk powder in our soaks because they are incredibly gentle on the skin. The exfoliating lactic acid is never harsh and instead soothes skin, leaving it with a lit-from-within-glow after just one 20 min soak. Combined with our mineral-rich salts and a potent blend of essential oils, the milk is elevated from luxury food stuff to the ultimate beauty product. Simply pour half a cup into your tub for a spa-like experience at home.

The feeling of luxuriating in milk is so much more decadent and relaxing than just water or bubbles alone. If you haven’t yet experienced the joy of milk bathing, why not try it today?
