Hydration is important. Our skin won’t look beautifully flawless and healthy if its dry and irrita­tion. Routine moisturization is key. Traditional ingredients such as yogurt can provide the best solution. Today, yogurt is recognized as a potent probiotic capable of delivering a variety of health benefits. But we weren’t the first to recognize these benefits. Ancient cultures that first made cosmetics may not have understood how actives such as yogurt improved the skin, but they certainly used them. It has been said that Cleopatra used to bathe in milk so her skin would be smooth and soft. The traditional art of fermenting milk into yogurt as a means of preservation is thought to have occurred around 2,000 BCE. Since then yogurt has become a dietary staple in many Asian and Middle Eastern and European cultures.

The molecular weights of these proteins range between 2,000 and 4,000 daltons. In a 30 day in vivo study, 5% FSS Yogurt Hydrolysate was shown to increase hydration by 12% compared to the control.
