  • Milk Powder in skincare formula

    Posted by kconley on December 1, 2021 at 11:40 pm

    Im making a mask and it asked for milk powder .8% (humectant) and Hydrolyzed Elastin Powder 2.0% (protein). Can I swap it ou t for a combination of hydrolyzed rice protein, wheat hydrolate, and oat hydrolate?

    Quite possibly, you can always try that. Milk powder, though, is more than just the proteins. I’ve worked with it in a formula, but not at a high enough percentage to see a difference. At a higher percentage you’d expect it to contain sugar (lactose), lipids, and proteins.
