What Sine Adipe Lac does

Adds a soft, smooth feel
Helps the formula hold moisture
Gives a mild, creamy texture

The name is Latin for milk without fat, so this is most likely skimmed milk. Skimming is done by spinning milk so the lighter cream separates out, leaving a thinner liquid that still holds milk proteins, sugars and minerals. Because the fat is gone, it is less rich than whole milk, which suits rinse-off products like body wash.

Formulators use milk-based ingredients for their softening feel and their ability to help the formula hold moisture. In a body wash, it adds a creamy, mild touch without the heavy residue that fats can leave. Expect a soft, gentle wash rather than a rich one.

Good for

Suits people who like a light, mild body wash that leaves skin feeling soft, not greasy.
