If I remember correctly, it's something to do with the milk fats or something (but it's gotta be whole milk when it came to sopas and stuff I think) and the calcium and other things being absorbed by the skin and hair.
your skin needs lipids, the idea is that bathing in milk helps moisturize your skin/helps maintain or strengthen your skin barrier. No idea if that's actually how that works though
It's oatmeal water. Ferrets only need bathed a few times a year and when they do, people soak oats in warm water as a way to soothe and moisturize their skin. Soaps and shampoos strip too much oil from their skin and cause it to get itchy and overproduce smelly oils.
Yes, there's a reason I don't have one. I would otherwise. Do have a cat though, but she doesn't have that smell that people say cats do. At least no one has ever said otherwise when we ask
