Ingredient dictionary
Likely skimmed milk, since its name means 'milk without fat' in Latin; it adds mild conditioning and a soft feel. It is on the label of 3 products in our library. Checked against our library November 6, 2026.
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.
