For adults, buttermilk powder used on the skin is generally safe. It has low concern for cancer or effects on pregnancy. The main possible problem is an allergic skin reaction for people who are allergic to milk.
If you want to try a product with buttermilk powder, do a small patch test on the inside of your wrist or arm and wait 24–48 hours. Stop use right away if you get redness, itching, swelling, or a rash. Don’t apply it to broken or inflamed skin. If you have a known milk allergy, choose products without dairy ingredients.
Watch for signs of skin allergy or irritation (redness, itching, swelling, hives). Because this ingredient comes from milk, people with milk allergy are at higher risk and should avoid it. This guidance is based on ingredient safety listings that note low-level allergy concerns even though overall risks for cancer and reproductive harm are low.
