The skin-beautifying agent is characterized in containing a hydrolyzate of whey protein as an active ingredient. Using a whey protein hydrolyzate having the characteristics of a molecular weight distribution of 10 kDa or less, a main peak of 200 Da - 3KDa, APL (average peptide length) of 2-8, free amino acid content of 20% or less, and a ²-lactoglobulin antigenicity of 1/10,000 or less, in particular, provides a skin-beautifying agent of low allergenicity and low bitterness. |
