About

Dehydrated buttermilk from cow's milk processing, used in cosmetics for its lactic acid and protein content that condition and soften skin.

Dried buttermilk is equivalent in composition and regulatory standing to buttermilk powder. It is a food-grade dairy byproduct with no specific EU cosmetics restriction. The primary active components are lactic acid and milk proteins. As with all milk-derived ingredients, mandatory allergen labelling applies under EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex III.

Skin benefits

  • Lactic acid exfoliates and hydrates skin
  • Milk proteins provide skin-softening effects
  • Contains natural fats that nourish the skin barrier

Known concerns

  • Milk allergen — mandatory label declaration
  • Batch-to-batch variability in lactic acid content
