Cleopatra, the mythical Egyptian queen, was right: milk is wonderful. And not only for the properties that we know for health, but because thanks to the benefits of milk for the skin, is an incomparable ally for beauty.

Milk is used in the preparation of different beauty products such as soaps and creams, because it contains carbohydrates, fats and proteins that make it an excellent softener. In addition, it moisturizes and nourishes the skin for its minerals (calcium) and vitamins (A, B, and D).

The secret lies in lactic acid, one of the best exfoliants and moisturizers that nature offers us. It also stimulates the natural production of collagen , has bioproteins that help retain moisture, and biotin, which acts as a protector against external aggressions.

When coming into contact with the skin, lipoproteins help the passage of nutrients and water through the cell membrane, leaving it soft as babies'.
