WHEY PROTEIN
INCI: Hydrolyzed Whey Protein
What is Hydrolyzed Whey Protein?
Whey protein is obtained from whey, which is the liquid that remains after milk has curdled during the cheese-making process. Whey protein is a complete source of high-quality protein with a wide range of amino acids. It is rich in protein content and consists of lactalbumin, lactoglobulin, serum albumin, and various peptides and amino acids. Whey protein is dried into powdered form and is used as a rich source of protein to build body muscles and as a dietary supplement.
Use & Benefits:
- Common Protein Source: One of the most common proteins found in dairy products is whey protein.
- Essential Amino Acids: Whey protein contains significant levels of the essential amino acids required for proteins to perform their roles in the body.
- Skin Conditioning: Hydrolyzed whey protein is used in a variety of cosmetic products and functions as a skin conditioning agent.
- Anti-Aging Properties: It acts as an anti-aging agent, forming a protective film on the skin's surface to make it appear smooth and soft.
- Moisturization: It moisturizes and conditions the skin, lubricates, and prevents moisture loss.
- Supports Skin Elasticity: As the skin ages, it loses its firmness and elasticity due to decreased production of collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles and fine lines. Hydrolyzed whey protein helps enhance collagen and elastin production.
- Hydration Retention: It helps keep the skin hydrated by retaining moisture, making the skin appear smooth, rejuvenated, and even-toned.
- Cosmetic Formulations: It is used in the formulations of skincare products.
