CLEANING UP WITH BREAST MILK SOAP

A SYRIAN entrepreneur who has been inundated with requests for her new breast milk soap gives 15 per cent of all sales to homeless charities to say thanks to Ireland for giving her the life of her dreams.

The 28-year-old mother-of-two has been running a successful Soap & More business for the last two years and has devised a new range of breast milk soap, which she calls “liquid gold” for skin ailments.

“My soaps are made with 100 per cent natural ingredients and vitamins, coloured using mild dye colouring and all have a soap base.

“Our soaps are highly moisturising, safe and gentle on the skin and are suitable for almost all skin types,” she said.

“I had an idea to make breast milk soap as it is high in fat and sugar and so makes really creamy and silky soap. I mix the soap with oatmeal which acts as a moisturiser.

“Word has got out and I’m now getting calls from other mums who didn’t know what to do to recycle their breast milk. I refer to breast milk as liquid gold because of all the nutrients and vitamins it contains.”

Support

Reham has been living in Clonakilty, Co Cork since coming her with her now eight-year-old boy Khaled five years ago and has since had a little girl Heaven who is two years old.

The support she has received has been so overwhelming that Reham donates 15 per cent of her proceeds to homeless charities as thanks.

“We came here for a better life from a country ravaged by war. Since we arrived, the people here have been nothing but friendly and supportive. We are very grateful to them for giving us our dream.”
