Whey Protein
Science & Benefits
Whey Protein is a bioactive byproduct of the dairy industry containing high levels of beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactalbumin. In dermatological applications, it is prized for its ability to stimulate the production of hyaluronan and collagen in dermal fibroblasts. This makes it a potent anti-aging humectant that improves skin firmness and reduces the depth of fine lines. Its protein structure allows it to soothe skin inflammation and accelerate the healing of the epidermal layer. Because it is completely water-soluble and non-clogging, it provides intensive nourishment and structural support for acne-prone skin that is beginning to show signs of loss of elasticity or 'teardrop' pores.
