WHOLE DRY MARE MILK

64

Safety score · 0–100

Fine

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

Dried whole mare (horse) milk — a protein-rich animal-derived ingredient used in niche skincare. Minimal modern clinical data.

Whole dry mare milk is the spray-dried or freeze-dried milk of the horse (Equus caballus). It contains whey and casein-type proteins, lactose, and lipids, and has a long traditional use in Central Asian skincare. Modern cosmetic safety data is limited; most evidence is traditional and industry-generated. No CMR or regulatory restrictions, but as a dairy product it can cause reactions in dairy-protein-sensitive users, and microbial quality control during drying is essential. Not vegan. Score sits in the mid-Fine tier — safe for most users, held down by sparse modern data, animal origin, and allergen risk.
