The increasing worldwide market for natural-ingredient-based cosmetic toiletries is fuelled by the awareness of the dangers of synthetic cosmetics and benefits of natural-based cosmetics on the skincare and management of skin disorders. Besides naturally formulated cosmetics being biodegradable, they also contain ingredients which are chemically beneficial to human skin. Milk-based cosmetics are very promising since milk is rich in essential components such as lactoferrins, vitamins, and lactic acids, which have shown therapeutic properties against disorders such as skin cancer, acne scars, and dandruff. One of the milk that is very promising in the cosmetics industry is the camel milk. Currently, there is limited information in literature regarding the use of camel milk in cosmetics and their benefits. Camel milk stands out from bovine milk following its unique therapeutic properties and chemical composition, making it a potential ingredient for skincare and haircare products such as bath soaps and shampoos. The aim of this paper is to review the available literature on camel milk composition and evaluate the contribution of camel milk constituents to cosmetics.
全球对天然成分化妆品和洗漱用品的市场需求不断增加，这是由于人们意识到合成化妆品的危害以及天然化妆品对皮肤护理和皮肤疾病管理的益处。除了天然配方的化妆品可生物降解外，它们还含有对人体皮肤有益的化学成分。基于牛奶的化妆品很有前景，因为牛奶富含乳铁蛋白、维生素和乳酸等重要成分，这些成分已显示出对皮肤癌、痤疮疤痕和头皮屑等疾病具有治疗作用。在化妆品行业中非常有前景的一种牛奶是骆驼奶。目前，关于骆驼奶在化妆品中的应用及其益处，文献中的信息有限。骆驼奶因其独特的治疗特性和化学成分而与牛奶不同，使其成为沐浴皂和洗发水等护肤品和护发产品的潜在成分。本文的目的是回顾关于骆驼奶成分的现有文献，并评估骆驼奶成分对化妆品的贡献。
