Abstract: The aim of the study was to create cosmetic formulations used for washing and conditioning based on natural whey derived from tofu. Tofu whey used in the production of hair cosmetics turns out to be valuable waste that replaces water. Whey is an ingredient rich in proteins, oligosaccharides and isoflavones. When trying to follow the principles of sustainable development, we need also to be responsible for protecting water resources. Using whey, we limit water consumption to the necessary minimum. Hence, we also support no water waste trend. Tofu whey, which is a valuable waste that replaces water, was used in the production of masks and hair shampoos. The use of waste ingredients used in the production of tofu (whey) in cosmetics is called upcycling.
