Camel milk originates from the Bedouin, nomad and pastoral cultures ever since camels were domesticated thousands of years ago. Usually camel herders traveled long distances with their camels. They survived only on camel milk when taking the camels on long distances to graze in desert and hot environments. This clearly shows the hydrating qualities of camel milk.
Lately, the camel dairy farming industry has grown in Australia and the United States as an environmentally-friendly alternative to cow dairy farming. Using camels meant they were using a species well-adapted to arid regions.
Camel milk has different nutritional characteristics, but the proportions of nutrients are highly variable based on a number of factors, including type and age of camel, climate, what it eats, and milking method. It can be used to make products such as yoghurt and ice cream. However, it is very difficult to turn into butter or cheese.
Camel Milk is rich in healthy vitamins and minerals, and contains disease-fighting immunoglobulins, providing potent healing benefits for the skin biome. The unique milk structure can penetrate lower layers of the skin and provide everything that is needed for healthy, younger, and brighter looking skin.
It is known to have high concentrations of alpha hydroxy acids (AHA). These acids help to exfoliate dead skin, allowing for increased cell turnover and renewal of new skin. Specifically, camel milk is paced with lactic acid, an AHA that’s considered to be the most skin-friendly acid. This acid is especially beneficial for sensitive skin.
Other skincare acids gently sloughs away dead skin cells and leaves skin looking fresh but lactic acid not only does this but it also increases skin’s production of ceramides. It also helps skin to retain moisture, resulting in a plumper, glowing skin.
Camel milk is growing in popularity and more farmers are choosing selective breeding. However, for now, camel milk remains an expensive luxury.
