This Skincare Brand Is Bringing Buffalo Milk to the Beauty Industry

A new skincare brand has arrived and it’s harnessing the power of an unexpected skincare ingredient: buffalo milk. Born out of a multi-generational Italian family farm, Bufarma has launched a range of skincare essentials that blend modern science with centuries-old wisdom.

For generations, the Galdiero family—pharmacists and custodians of a buffalo farm nestled in the heart of Naples—have exemplified healthy, radiant skin. Their secret lies in the daily use of buffalo milk, a natural remedy that has kept their hands and complexions soft and supple for decades. Massimiliano Galdiero, the grandson of the farm’s founder, inherited a rich legacy of skincare formulations and techniques for extracting organic essences from the farm’s natural ingredients. With a PhD from the University of Cambridge and a professorship in microbiology, Massimiliano has transformed these cherished formulations into Bufarma, a skincare line that introduces the benefits of buffalo milk to the beauty industry.

Buffalo milk, known for its rich lipid content and high levels of calcium, is a powerhouse ingredient that naturally protects and moisturises the skin’s barrier. It delivers deep hydration and nourishment, leaving the skin smooth, supple, and revitalised. Packed with proteins, minerals, vitamins, and essential nutrients, buffalo milk treats a range of skincare concerns—from dry skin and hyperpigmentation to acne and skin damage.

Bufarma harnesses the power of buffalo milk in its entire skincare range, enhancing it with other natural ingredients to maximise its benefits. Aloe vera is included for its soothing, hydrating, and revitalising properties. Wheat germ oil provides protection against free radical damage and helps reduce the signs of ageing, while prickly pear extract contributes additional nourishment and support for the skin’s structure.

Model Kiera Chaplin serves as Bufarma’s global ambassador. Known for her commitment to sustainability and natural beauty, Chaplin perfectly aligns with Bufarma’s ethos. “From the first moment I started using the products, I could feel and see the difference,” said Kiera Chaplin. “Bufarma’s commitment to quality and the remarkable benefits of buffalo milk make this skincare line truly exceptional.”

Bufarma launches with eight skincare and body care products, housed in easily recyclable packaging. Hero products include the Replenishing Milk Essence Serum, which combines the brand’s unique milk essence with ceramides, grape extract, and hyaluronic acid, ingredients known to protect, moisturise, and brighten the skin. The Bare Skin Night Cream is another favourite, offering rich nourishment overnight to rejuvenate and restore the skin, ensuring you wake up with a refreshed and glowing complexion.

Bufarma’s products are now available online at bufarma.com and at selected UK retailers, with prices ranging from £24 to £49. Information regarding a US launch is yet to be announced.
