After sterilization, milk is dried in a low temperature and pressure conditions. Maintaining low temperatures (keeping the temperature well below 0°C) is a prerequisite of the process. While other methods use air of up to 200°C (e.g. spay drying and drum drying), whereas this patented method does not affect the characteristics of milk.

This achieves sublimation of milk, i.e. vaporizing moisture without boiling milk unlike other procedures involving intense heating. This method has clearly increased costs, but in a product like donkey milk, where the aim is to enjoy its features, this method is the only way and hence our Donkey milk Personal Care Range of products are a class apart from the rest!

The use of donkey milk in cosmetics, can be done safely only with the use of milk powder. The method of sterilization and lyophilization that we apply in our Donkey Milk Powder is the only one that is able to cover ALL the strict standards of the cosmetics industry and at the same time maintain all the beneficial characteristics of ass’s milk.

The standard milk treatment process includes heat treatment (pasteurization) at temperatures from 63°C up to 138°C. This results in the loss of much of the valuable nutrients and characteristics of donkey milk. The alternative method, which is patented, consists of cold sterilization of milk using osmotic filter. This enables the destruction of all pathogens, inactivation of enzymes and activated antioxidants, while maintaining unaltered the Vitamin C.
