About

A milk-protein derivative modified for enhanced moisturizing and film-forming properties on skin.

Dihydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Casein is a milk-casein protein modified by reaction with glycidol, producing a quaternary hydroxypropyl substituent that improves moisture-binding properties. Casein hydrolysates are used in cosmetics for film-forming and moisturizing characteristics, though milk-protein allergies require consideration. The ingredient is permitted under EU Regulation 1223/2009 without specific concentration limits.
