tibetan
has been using yak butter and yuck milk
on their skin to protect from the harsh
weather on the plateau
it protects your skin from sun rays
is also known like they have the
antioxidant
elements are in it so that it can
prevent
and slow down skin aging
my name is domalamo it has
been three years since i've started
making the handmade soap
in our workshop we have 16 local people
and mostly local women working for us
they prefer coming to our workshop to
work
so that they can look after their family
and also earn
a salary which can help
them with their daily expense
and educate their children

at first when i started teaching my
student
the way i learned from thailand and u.s
it was extremely difficult for them to
learn it
because later i came to know that they
have never been to school
so we started marking the measuring cup
with color
tape and color string
marking all different kind of oil with
color string
so later we come up with our own way
how to make this yak soup in a different
and our unique way we don't have any
special equipment
we use a bowl to heat up the oil
and the tools to mix the mixture of oil
and the light water
when it comes to some thickness we start
to put
in our essential oils and our
ingredients like himalayan salt
turmeric and black charcoal powder
we have 10 different flavors
we make after the 24 hours we have to
take out our soap
out of the mould and cut it in the shape
you like
and stamp it your logo and we start
curing the soap for 40
days
we sell our product online and offline
we have store in lithang old town
and tendu city we also have retailers
in canada usa
colorado in germany and vietnam
a customer replied uh saying that
he'll start loving to wash his hand
daily
because it doesn't make his hands and
his skin
dry and we also have feedback customers
saying
they want to know more about learn more
about our product
and the story behind it
people on the plateau we make our tent
out of yaku
we make our shoes and bags out of yak
skin
and we get our dairy products like milk
yogurt
cheese and butter from yak and
we make yakdom as a few
and also yak will help us to transfer
from one place to
another by carrying our luggage
so the people living on the plateau
cannot imagine their life
without the yak beside them
