Thanks @Tropical_Willie your link says that Casein Is the protein responsible for milk being white.
They used to “paint barns white” with left over milk.
“Centuries ago, European farmers would seal the wood on their barns with an oil, often linseed oil—a tawny-colored oil derived from the seed of the flax plant. They would paint their barns with a linseed-oil mixture, often consisting of additions such as milk and lime. The combination produced a long-lasting paint that dried and hardened quickly.”

It’s called milk. There are no ingredients.
The fats and proteins reflect light making it look white.
Of course there are ingredients in milk @Forever_Free.
“Milk is an emulsion or colloid of butterfat globules within a water-based fluid that contains dissolved carbohydrates and protein aggregates with minerals.[74] Because it is produced as a food source for the young, all of its contents provide benefits for growth. The principal requirements are energy (lipids, lactose, and protein), biosynthesis of non-essential amino acids supplied by proteins (essential amino acids and amino groups), essential fatty acids, vitamins and inorganic elements, and water.[75]”
They used to make pens from casein and the white star on very old mont blancs was casein.
@Dutchess_III Ingredients is a term used when making a product that is man made and not a natural grown substance.
Nature evolves compounds, mechanisms and structures far more complicated and unpredictable than anything we can produce in the lab. Things also change chemically as time goes by. You are stating a few substances found in milk not lab made milk based on ingredients.
Elmer’s glue used to have casein. That’s why the logo has a cow.
