Milk Lipids
What Milk Lipids is & what it does
Milk Lipids are the fatty fraction obtained from milk, a blend of triglycerides and related lipids. In a formula they are typically used as emollients and skin conditioning agents that soften the surface and help reinforce a smooth, supple feel. They are valued in moisturizers and creams for a rich, nourishing texture and are sometimes chosen for their similarity to skin-native lipids. No specific concerns are flagged for this ingredient here, though milk-derived components may matter to those avoiding animal-sourced materials.
