Renowned for its role in boosting the immune system and its ability to bind iron, lactoferrin has other effects on our health. This protein, found mainly in the milk of mammals, is also a source of benefits for the skin.
Lactoferrin is a bioactive protein naturally present in the human body, it represents a source of nutrients useful for the proper functioning of our body. In addition to its positive impact on health, lactoferrin also has benefits for the skin. It helps to reduce many skin problems, regardless of age.
As the years go by, signs of ageing can appear on the skin of the face and neck. Wrinkles and fine lines form around the eyes and on the forehead. Lactoferrin helps combat dry skin and delay the appearance of signs of ageing. This protein helps to reinforce the skin's elasticity, enabling it to retain its firmness.
Lactoferrin is also beneficial for younger skin. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powers also enable it to help combat acne. This glycoprotein helps reduce sebum production and helps relieve skin infections (pimples, etc.).
Lactoferrin is also recommended for more severe conditions such as psoriasis. Its anti-inflammatory action helps to slow the proliferation of red patches and reduce those already present.
To take advantage of the benefits it brings to the skin, lactoferrin can be introduced into various product categories. The two main ones are food supplements and cosmetics (makeup, skincare products, hair products). In fact, this protein can be combined with other active ingredients to create a specific formula based on the skin problems targeted.
