Description
Oxidized Starch Acetate is a modified starch that plays the role of stabilizer, texturizer, and absorbent in cosmetics. It is added to formulas to improve consistency, mattify the skin, and reduce oiliness. Thanks to its good absorbing properties, it absorbs excess sebum, making the skin visually smoother and more matte. This component also helps to create a light, pleasant-to-touch texture of the product - without stickiness. It is often used in powders, creams, serums, masks, and decorative cosmetics.
