About LAC POWDER
Dried milk powder used in cosmetics — provides skin-softening proteins and lactic acid. It's the same milk solids used in 'Cleopatra's milk bath' type products.
Detailed Analysis
Lac Powder is the solid residue produced by dehydration of cow's milk, retaining milk proteins (casein, whey), lactose, minerals, and fats. In cosmetics, it functions as a skin conditioner and bulking agent. The milk proteins provide moisturizing and film-forming properties, while the natural lactic acid content offers mild exfoliation. Used historically in bath products and creams for its skin-softening properties. No EU restrictions, no GHS hazards. Well-tolerated by most individuals, though dairy-allergic consumers should be aware of its origin.
