Donkey Milk Powder 1 kg

What makes donkey milk powder valuable for large-scale cosmetic manufacturing

This ingredient belongs to the Active Complexes category, which brings together concentrated bioactive raw materials used across cosmetic, dermatological and food production. Donkey milk powder is produced through gentle drying of raw milk, which preserves proteins, oligosaccharides, vitamins and fatty acids present in the original liquid. The historical reputation of donkey milk baths has today turned into a practical industrial demand rather than remaining a beauty legend.

The strongest global demand for donkey milk powder comes from the skincare industry, where it is used in creams, emulsions, masks and lotions designed for dry, sensitive and irritation-prone skin. Its composition shares certain similarities with human milk, which is why the powder is frequently chosen for infant care lines and formulations aimed at atopic skin. Beyond cosmetics, the powder is used in the food industry as an ingredient in functional blends and in the production of dietary supplements, valued for its protein and mineral content. A smaller but steady niche includes veterinary and animal care products.

Within cosmetic formulations, the powder is typically reconstituted in water at a ratio of roughly one part powder to five or ten parts liquid, then introduced into the water phase of an emulsion during the cooling stage, at a temperature not exceeding 40-45 degrees Celsius, to protect heat-sensitive proteins and B vitamins. Recommended usage levels in a finished product range from one to five percent of the total formula, depending on the desired concentration of active compounds. The powder pairs well with plant oils, hyaluronic acid, botanical extracts and other active complexes from the same range: it is commonly combined with Active complex Breakfast for skin in morning skincare routines, or with Phyto Complex for Instant Skin Rejuvenation in anti-aging lines. For hair strengthening masks, formulators also pair it with Extract-Serum for Hair Strength.

The 1 kg package size is suited for studio-level and semi-industrial production: small cosmetic laboratories, limited batches of creams and masks, and formula testing before scaling up to conveyor volumes. This quantity allows manufacturers to secure a stable raw material batch without frequent reordering and keep composition consistent within one production series. The powder should be stored in an airtight container, in a cool dry place, away from direct light and moisture, since milk powder is hygroscopic and prone to fat oxidation once exposed to air.
