The virtues of Donkey Milk were cited as early as the 5th C b.c.e. Praised by Herodotus for its therapeutic properties in the treatment of the skin and used by the most illustrious of women, Cleopatra, queen of Egypt, and Poppea, empress of Rome, to name but a few. Today donkey milk has once again been recognized by the scientific community as an excellent elixir, both nutritionally as a substitute to mother's milk, as well as cosmetically, used in the treatment of various delicate skin ailments and against free radicals. Throughout the ages, donkey milk has been used in the preparation of highly valuable and unique dermatological treatments, to cure skin irritations and to stop the signs of aging. The composition of donkey milk, much like that of mother's milk, has many highly nutritional properties. Indeed, donkey milk contains a high quantity of lysozymes, that are excellent natural antibiotics that fight to protect the skin as well as supporting its elastic fibres. Moreover, it is particularly rich in vitamins, minerals and oleo-elements; all very capable of slowing down and even preventing the aging process as well as creating a natural barrier against external free-radicals with its anti-inflammatory properties. Rich in fatty-acids such as Omega 3 and 6, donkey milk helps to repair the cell membrane and speed up its re-generation. Donkey milk also reduces skin irritations and it is particularly beneficial to sensitive skin for it hydrates and softens the epidermis. The serum-proteins in donkey milk prevent the aging of the skin and renders it soft with a velvet-like texture, all the while strengthening its immune system. In addition, donkey milk has both a tightening effect and regenerates cell rejuvenation, ideal for all skin types of all ages. It is extremely tolerable to all skin types, even the most sensitive and problematic ones. The pro-biotic substances present in donkey milk are able to preserve and restore the natural physiological equilibrium of the hydro-lymphatic film of the skin. Our Terre dei Papi products contain no less than 70% Donkey Milk, 100% purely Italian and certified by the European Union.
