Description
Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate (HSP) is an ingredient used in cosmetics as a substitute for traditional thickeners and emulsifiers. It is obtained by modifying corn starch and contains both natural and synthetic components. In cosmetic products, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate is used as a thickener that helps to provide the consistency and texture of the product. It can also help to maintain moisture on the skin, making it a useful ingredient for moisturizing products. In addition, HSP is an emulsifier, meaning it helps to mix water and oil components, such as oils and water. This ensures a uniform texture and effectiveness of the product.
