Description
Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate is an ingredient that is formed by processing starch with water and hydrogen, making it stable and easily absorbable. It is added to cosmetics because it has moisturizing properties, helping the skin retain moisture and maintain optimal hydration levels. This component creates a protective layer on the skin's surface, which helps to retain water, important for maintaining its elasticity and flexibility. It can usually be found in moisturizing creams, lotions, serums, and masks. Additionally, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate helps improve the texture of products, making them smoother and more pleasant to apply. It can be beneficial in products for sensitive skin due to its softening properties. This component is non-toxic and considered safe for long-term use.
