Stories from Nature
Milk proteins are derived from a natural raw material rich in nutrients, including caseins and whey proteins. In cow’s milk, approximately 80% of the proteins are caseins, while the remaining 20% are whey proteins.
Through a process called hydrolysis, these proteins are broken down into smaller fragments, yielding functional protein derivatives that are highly valued in cosmetic research.
Benefits for Hair
Hydrolyzed Milk Proteins, thanks to their conditioning, anti-static, and volumizing properties, help improve the softness, elasticity, and strength of the hair shaft. By interacting with the hair’s surface, they help reduce static electricity and frizz, making detangling and styling easier.
They also promote a smoother, more uniform appearance of the cuticle, enhancing the hair’s shine and body. In treatments specifically designed for fine, fragile, or curly hair, they help provide volume, definition, and softness while maintaining a pleasant feeling of lightness.
