How to Send Your Own Breast Milk for Custom Soap

Instructions for Sending 8 oz of Breast Milk to Pele Pura:

  1. Keep the milk frozen until you are ready to donate. Thawed milk cannot be donated.
  2. Store pumped milk in sterilized containers, such as breast milk storage bags. Any brand is fine.
  3. Place the filled bags in a freezer bag to keep them organized and secure.
  4. Write your name, order number, the type of soap ordered, and your baby's name on each bag for labeling purposes.
  5. Place the breast milk bags in a cooler, preferably an insulated soft lunch box. This cooler will be returned to you once the soap is made. Do not use dry ice.
  6. Add multiple ice packs to the cooler and layer them with newspaper. Pad the bags with crumpled newspaper to prevent shifting during transport.
  7. Pack the cooler in a small box. The smaller the box, the easier and cheaper the shipping will be.
  8. Money-saving tip: Prepay for the shipping label online rather than at the store.

By following these instructions, you can ensure that your custom breast milk soap arrives safely and maintains its quality for soap making by Pele Pura. Thank you!
