Yak Milk Soap by Yak My Body

December 8, 2016January 21, 2017

Recently my wife launched Yak Milk Soap by Yak My Body. This is a social enterprise that empowers marginalized Tibetan women with soap making skills to become economically independent.

My personal favorite is the Uncle Tomba Sandlewood & Lemongrass Yak Milk Soap. (Uncle Tomba is a characher in Tibetan Folklore, read about him on Wikipedia here).

 

You can also check out this video of her partner, Danma Jyid, describing the initiative (Maya Mountain is the old name).
