Description

Distarch Phosphate is a modified starch obtained by treating natural starch (such as corn or potato) with phosphates. In cosmetics, it is used to improve texture, sebum absorption, skin softening, and product thickening. It effectively absorbs excess skin oil, making it a common ingredient in powders, mattifying creams, dry shampoos, and skincare products for oily skin. It also helps reduce the feeling of stickiness and greasiness after application, making the product more silky and comfortable on the skin. Additionally, starch derivatives can reduce irritation from active ingredients and help evenly distribute other ingredients.
