The Science Behind Our Milk Body Skincare
3 min read
Three exclusive plant-based milks. One indulgent collection.
The last Pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Cleopatra VII, has captivated the world for centuries, not just with her political and romantic endeavors but also as a beauty icon. One of her most famous beauty rituals involved luxurious milk baths, a practice that has inspired beauty treatments and skincare products over the years. We now know that milk — used in this centuries-old skincare ritual to soften and smooth skin texture — contains lactic acid, a naturally occurring AHA.
Inspired by this ancient beauty secret, we created the Milk Body Care Collection with a modern twist. Featuring a gentle bath and shower cleanser, a soothing body moisturizer, and an intensive hand lotion, the Milk Body range is infused with fresh’s exclusive plant-based milks derived from centella, rice, and linseed to leave skin nourished and comforted.
Discover the range and the ingredients that make it so incredibly nourishing.
Each product in the Milk Body Collection features a synergistic blend of three nourishing plant-based milks.
Meet centella milk, your skin's new best friend for soothing and calming. We’ve harnessed the power of hydrolyzed centella tops, expertly blended with extra virgin olive oil, to create a gentle emulsion that mimics the texture of milk. Known by many names – Cica, Gotu Kola, Tiger Grass – Centella Asiatica is often referred to as an “elixir of life” for its remarkable healing properties. This herbaceous plant has been celebrated for centuries, and now you can experience its skin-calming benefits in every application.
Rice milk is your go-to for comfort and nourishment. By blending hydrolyzed rice bran proteins with extra virgin olive oil, we craft a unique emulsion that feels as gentle as milk on your skin. Sourced from nutrient-rich brown rice, our rice bran proteins bring a wealth of diverse nutritional compounds to your skincare routine. Rice has been cultivated for nearly 13,000 years, cherished not just as a dietary staple but also for its ability to enhance skin health. Let this ancient grain comfort and nourish your skin daily.
Linseed milk supports your skin’s barrier function and helps to lock in hydration. We’ve combined hydrophilic and lipophilic extracts from our finest linseed seeds with extra virgin olive oil, creating a gentle, milky emulsion. Linseed has long been revered for its beneficial applications, with a history that dates to Hippocrates. Embrace the hydration-boosting powers of linseed milk and keep your skin feeling supple and protected.
