In depth
What it does
A protein derived from enzymatic hydrolysis of milk casein into smaller peptides, used as a skin-conditioning and film-forming humectant. As an humectant ingredient, it is particularly valued for milk-protein derived peptides that condition and hydrate skin and forms a light film that helps smooth skin texture.
Skin type guide
Works across all skin types, but is especially beneficial for dry and dehydrated skin. Oily skin types also benefit — proper hydration helps regulate sebum production.
How to use it
Apply to slightly damp skin to maximise moisture retention — humectants work by drawing water to the skin, so they need a water source to pull from. Use early in your routine, before heavier creams or oils.
