Can I use Ceramide NP with Milk Protein Extract?
Works well together
Ceramide NP and Milk Protein Extract are generally compatible and can be layered in the same routine. As always, introduce one new active at a time and watch how your skin responds.
Ceramide NPBarrier support
- ✓Restores barrier
- ✓Reduces water loss
- ✓Calms dryness
Milk Protein ExtractBarrier support
- ✓Casein and whey protein fractions provide amino acids, ceramide precursors, and lipids that support barrier integrity and skin conditioning
- ✓Hygroscopic properties of hydrolyzed milk proteins help retain moisture in the stratum corneum, contributing a mild humectant effect
- ✓Bioactive peptides released from milk proteins (particularly whey-derived β-lactoglobulin fragments) may stimulate keratinocyte proliferation and barrier repair
- ⚠Contains milk-derived proteins — not suitable for individuals with severe milk or casein allergy; topical exposure risk from a cosmetic concentration extract is generally low, but caution advised
