Knossos Olive Oil Soap with Donkey Milk and Pomegranate Peel Review


 I bought this on my trip to Greece last year. Everywhere I go I always try to snag a bar of soap. I've used all the "milk" soaps. Goat Milk, Camel Milk, Buffalo Milk. This is the first Donkey Milk soap I came across so of course I had to snag it.

Knossos claims: 

Olive oil soap with Donkey Milk, Pomegranate Peel & fragrance, made 100% by olive oil (no mixture with other kinds of oils). It doesn’t contain color substances or chemical preservatives. 

Suitable for Face & Body.



I can't think of this soap without thinking of Donkey from Shrek. I even have to say it with my Shrek accent. Who know Donkey's produce enough milk that you can use it for soap? 

From the website it looks like this is meant to be sold in bulk for gift shops etc. Which is whereI got mine. Originally intended as a body soap but I found the scent to be lacking so I used it as a facial soap. The scent is just regular old soap. For some reason I thought it was supposed to be scented Pomegranate. But the pomegranate is just there to provide a little exfoliation. I think. 


Otherwise it's a nice soap. Gets my face squeaky clean. It's also slightly drying...so in the winter following up with moisturizer was necessary. 

I think my skin has felt smoother and a little brighter since using it. From what I have read Donkey Milk is supposed to be amazing for the skin. It has all kinds of essential vitamins and proteins that benefit the skin. It's anti-inflammatory and supposed to be good for all kinds of skin issues. 

Ingredients:

Sodium Olivate, Aqua, Parfum, Donkey Milk, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Peel Powder, Sodium Chloride, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool.

Overall, it's a solid soap. I think for me it would be interchangeable with any other milk soap but it's nice to try something different. Also something simple that just works.
