DRIED CREAM

Description

Dried cream is an innovative ingredient in skincare and haircare formulations, offering concentrated benefits in a stable, powdered form. This dehydrated dairy derivative is produced through careful spray-drying or freeze-drying processes, which preserve the cream's natural nutrients and fatty acids while extending shelf life and reducing the need for preservatives.

Rich in milk proteins, lipids, and lactic acid, dried cream provides moisturizing and nourishing properties to various cosmetic products. Its composition includes beneficial components such as glycerides, phospholipids, and vitamins A and E, which contribute to skin hydration and hair conditioning. The powdered format allows for easy incorporation into anhydrous formulations, masks, and dry shampoos.

Dried cream's versatility extends to its ability to enhance product texture, providing a smooth, creamy feel upon reconstitution. It can improve the stability of emulsions and contribute to a luxurious sensory experience in both leave-on and rinse-off products. When used in haircare, it can help to smooth the cuticle, reduce frizz, and add shine. In skincare, it may assist in maintaining the skin's moisture barrier and promoting a supple appearance.
