Science & Benefits

Lactis Proteinum is a purified complex of milk proteins designed specifically for high-performance water-binding. These proteins are rich in essential amino acids that serve as the building blocks for the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). When applied topically, they form a breathable, non-occlusive film that effectively locks moisture into the stratum corneum, providing a significant 'plumping' effect. This film-forming ability is especially useful for oily but dehydrated skin, as it provides a silky skin feel without the need for heavy, comedogenic oils. It is exceptionally well-tolerated and helps to calm and stabilize skin that has been irritated by environmental stressors or harsh topicals.
