Gentle, creamy, and traditionally crafted, Donkey Milk is a mild soap bar designed for everyday cleansing. Its soft, creamy lather cleanses effectively while leaving the skin feeling clean, comfortable, and balanced.
Formulated with a simple, time-honoured soap base of olive oil and coconut oil, this soap is enriched with donkey milk, an ingredient long associated with traditional soapmaking. Natural glycerin supports skin comfort during washing, making this bar suitable for regular use on hands and body. Each bar reflects a minimalist approach to formulation, focusing on essential ingredients and traditional craft.
This soap is unfragranced, allowing the natural scent of the ingredients to remain subtle and unobtrusive — ideal for those who prefer a simple, understated cleansing experience.
Donkey milk has been valued for centuries in traditional skincare rituals, particularly for its gentle nature and naturally occurring components such as proteins, sugars, and fatty acids. In soapmaking, donkey milk is appreciated for contributing to a soft, creamy lather and a smooth, comfortable skin feel during cleansing. Its long-standing use reflects an association with mildness and skin comfort, making it well suited to everyday soaps designed for normal skin. Rather than acting as an active treatment ingredient, donkey milk supports the overall sensory experience of washing, aligning with heritage formulations that prioritise simplicity, balance, and respect for the skin.

"As an artisanal, family-owned company, we believe products should be effective without being overpowered, and carefully adapted to individual needs. Our approach encourages conscious use, respecting physical integrity while minimising environmental impact."
Every formula reflects a guiding principle:
eco-responsible products should be handcrafted and reduced to the essentials.
Mas du Roseau is a French, family-run brand crafting natural soaps for home & body inspired by the traditions of Provence. Founded in 1983 by Pascale, and Alsatian lady living in Provence, the brand is committed to artisanal production, ethical formulation, and a more authentic, healthier approach to everyday care.
Rooted in heritage yet guided by modern responsibility, Mas du Roseau creates simple, effective products designed to be used daily — essentials that respect both skin and environment.
Living with her husband in a traditional Provençal farmhouse, surrounded by reeds, fields, and the natural rhythms of rural life inspired Pascale to create her products.
Firmly committed to manual and artisanal production methods and traditional marseille soap making, preserving the human expertise at the heart of her products. With a slower, more considered approach to creating products that are gentle, reliable, and honest.
The formulas are all developed and produced in her own workshop in St Chamas, and are reviewed annually with a focus on quality, ethics, and continuous improvement.
Actively prioritising healthy components and raw materials — not only to respect your skin, but also to protect the wellbeing of the people who manufacture our products. All raw materials are also sourced locally where possible with 80% or these for product and packaging coming from France.
Mas du Roseau formulations are built around naturally derived ingredients selected for performance, skin compatibility, and environmental profile. Avoiding unnecessary additives and with a focus on clarity, balance, and purpose.
All Mas du Roseau perfumes are sourced exclusively from Grasse, chosen for their quality and created with as few allergens as possible. Where colour is required, this is created French mineral and plant-based dyes, favouring natural origin and visual restraint.
Nothing is added without reason.
Sustainability is embedded in every stage, from sourcing and formulation to packaging and partnerships.
Where Palm Oil is used it is certified sustainable by RSPO, supporting responsible practices and biodiversity protection.
