Breast milk contains several fatty acids that are notable of these is lauric acid and coconut oil. It’s moisturising, but it also fights acne due to its antimicrobial qualities. As well as preventing and treating spots, it can also help with inflammation, too.

Breast milk also contains palmitic acid, a moisturising and occlusive agent that locks moisture into the skin. It also adds moisturising and anti-ageing oleic acid, and finally conjugated linoleic acid, which moisturises, soothes inflammation, and lightens the skin tone.
