However, doctors are discouraging people from buying these homemade breast milk soaps.
Beauty products of breast milk are becoming increasingly popular items.
These soaps are made by women in China, and are being sold online through retailers such as Taobao.
One woman said that she had learned to make breast milk soap through online tutorials.
She then began making her own breast milk soap, and she is selling it.
“I sold over 300 bars of my breast milk soap,” the woman said.
Doctors have explained that soaps are not likely to contain any beautification properties.
"The active ingredient contained in the milk is destroyed when making the soap, so there are few nutrients left," doctor Wen Wei Po of Hong Kong said.
“Furthermore, if the woman is not in good health, it is possible that diseases can be transmitted,” he added.
A woman in Chongqing reported using her breast milk to bathe her baby, claiming that the breast milk made the baby’s skin very soft and white.
