AvoidProtein
Palmitoyl hydrolyzed milk protein is a derivative of milk protein often used in cosmetics and some food products for its conditioning properties.
What is Palmitoyl Hydrolyzed Milk Protein?
Palmitoyl hydrolyzed milk protein is a modified form of milk protein that has been chemically altered to enhance its functionality, particularly in terms of its ability to condition and moisturize skin and hair. It is created by breaking down milk proteins into smaller peptides and then attaching palmitoyl groups, which can enhance its ability to penetrate and bind to surfaces. Although primarily used in cosmetic products, it can sometimes be found in food applications as an emulsifier or protein booster.
