About Lactose

Lactose is an enzyme that promotes the dehydrogenation of galactose.[1] The moisturization and spreadability of finished products containing lactose may vary depending on the use level and the combination of moisturizing and emollient ingredients used with it. In cosmetics, it is used to attract water to the formulation and skin’s surface to help maintain moisture, and to leave the skin’s surface feeling soft and smooth.[2]
