Natural & organic products

Kadhak Organics

For centuries, Tibetan nomads, who are constantly exposed to the elements, have used yak milk and butter for treating cracked skin and sunburn due to the harsh climate on the plateau. Drawing inspiration from this traditional practice, we incorporate organic yak milk and yak butter in Kadhak’s skincare products.

Yak butter is made from the milk of the female yak (Bos grunniens) known as Dri འབྲི་།in Tibetan. It is a staple food item on the Tibetan Plateau and a vital nutritional source for Tibetans. Yak’s milk has about twice the fat content of cow’s milk, making it richer and healthier as a whole. 

In 2011, a study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences examined the composition of the yak milk. Researchers found that yak milk is richer in calcium and iron than cow’s milk. A 2014 publication in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition states that yak milk is rich in functional and bioactive components. It contains amino acids, fatty acids, and high levels of antioxidant vitamins. 

All our organic products are handmade with love and care using the most natural local ingredients like yak milk, organic apples, raw honey and herbs that are hand harvested in the wild. We do not use any parabens, dyes, animal fat, petrolatum, GMOs or preservatives in our products. We founded Kadhak not only to have a positive impact on the plateau but also to create an alternative choice for our customers to purchase an ethical organic product that is safe for all.
