Three luxurious milks, one premium skincare collection.
Skincare and nature have worked hand-in-hand for thousands of years. Even Cleopatra VII, the legendary last Pharaoh of ancient Egypt, knew the secrets of this natural harmony, famously using milk baths to achieve soft, glowing skin. Milk's natural lactic acid—an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA)—works to gently exfoliate and smooth the skin, a practice that has inspired countless beauty rituals through the ages.
The rich history and time-tested benefits of this natural ingredient, combined with modern science, inspired our Milk Body Collection. This luxurious range includes a soothing bath and shower cleanser, protective hand lotion, and deeply nourishing body moisturizer. Infused with our trio of exclusive plant-based milks derived from centella, rice, and linseed, this collection offers an innovative twist on Cleopatra’s timeless beauty secret, giving your skin lasting hydration and the feeling of ultimate comfort.
Discover the transformative power of these unique ingredients to elevate your skincare routine.
Our Milk Body Collection uses a trio of plant-based milks to soothe and comfort your skin, offering a delicate touch while delivering powerful results.
The centella asiatica plant, often referred to as cica, gotu kola, or tiger grass, has a rich history in traditional medicine and skincare, revered for its ability to soothe wounds, burns, and skin conditions. Centella milk delivers a holistic approach to skincare that hydrates, calms, and protects your skin. By blending hydrolyzed centella tops with extra virgin olive oil, we’ve created a comforting emulsion that closely resembles the soothing qualities of milk, and delivers all of these benefits in every application.
Rice milk, made from nutrient-dense brown rice, has been a staple in skincare for centuries. Our rice milk formula combines hydrolyzed rice bran proteins with extra virgin olive oil to create a gentle yet effective emulsion that hydrates your skin while supporting its natural barrier. Rice has been a part of human life for 13,000 years, valued for both its nourishment and skin benefits. We've taken this versatile ingredient and refined it for a vast range of modern skincare needs. The result? A simple, luxurious addition to your routine that lets your skin enjoy the best of nature's care.
Every day, your skin faces a battle against dryness, damage, and irritation caused by environmental stressors. To help with this, linseed milk provides a powerful combination of long-lasting hydration and protection, leaving you with soft, resilient skin. Linseed milk plays a crucial role in fortifying your skin’s protective barrier and keeping moisture locked in. Our Milk Body Collection blends hydrophilic and lipophilic extracts from premium linseed seeds with extra virgin olive oil to deliver a delicate milky emulsion that delivers lasting hydration and protection.
Discover the secret to skin that feels refreshed, revitalized, and radiant with these milky skincare must-haves.
In our fast-paced world, your skin often yearns for a moment of tenderness, but harsh soaps can leave it feeling tight and dry. The fresh Milk Body Cleanser offers a soothing relief. This hydrating bath and shower gel gently cleanses while enveloping your skin in a comforting layer of nourishment.
You deserve more than just clean skin. You want skin that feels soft, looks radiant, and stands up to whatever your day throws at it. The trio of milks in our unique formulation work together with other nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to gently cleanse while delivering long-lasting hydration that keeps your skin plump and protected throughout the day. This body wash is further enriched with vitamin E to create a barrier against environmental stressors, so you can face the world with confidence. And for those always on the move?

After cleansing, the next step in your bodycare routine should be the Milk Body Lotion. This luxurious moisturizer offers a lightweight, pyjama-proof texture that hugs your skin in deep hydration and soothing comfort.
At the heart of this body lotion is hyaluronic acid, a moisture magnet that draws hydration into your skin, keeping it plump and dewy all day long. Vitamin E, a potent antioxidant, works to reinforce your skin’s protective barrier while supporting its natural repair processes and enhancing its resilience. Niacinamide works behind the scenes to refine your skin’s texture, even out complexion, and minimize the appearance of pores, creating a smooth, flawless finish.
The Milk Body Lotion’s unique formula is enriched with the calming properties of centella, rice, and linseed milks, soothing emollients that wrap your skin in a protective embrace, comforting and strengthening its natural barrier. Feel a moment of tranquillity wash over you with each application.
