Application of Modified Starch in Skincare
What is Modified Starch?
Natural Origin, Enhanced Performance
Modified starch refers to starch products that are processed and treated through physical, chemical, or enzymatic methods to impart new functional properties that natural starch lacks. Based on different modification methods, modified starch can be classified into several types: physically modified starch, chemically modified starch , and enzymatically modified starch (produced through specific enzymatic hydrolysis or synthesis processes).
Unlike raw starch, modified starch provides improved solubility, enhanced thermal stability, and superior moisturizing properties, making it perfect for advanced skincare formulations that require precise texture control and long-lasting performance.
