While the thought of breast milk cheese made me gag, I can handle the thought of using [breast milk soap](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-made-of-breast-milk-human-cheese)... although if faced with a choice, I'd still take my regular Dove bar.

The [organic cleansing bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curie-body-wash-bars) are made from human breast milk and said to have beautifying properties. While I think it's okay for mom and her little ones, sharing products with your personal DNA with others is just wrong.
