Casein is a phosphoprotein (cheese substance) that is separated from cow's milk with the help of rennet essence (chymosin) or acetic acid.

Casein is used in cosmetic products as a skin care product and as an antistatic agent. The substance reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of skin and hair. The hair becomes easier to comb, smoother and has more volume.
