Dextrin (INCI: Dextrin) is a versatile cosmetic ingredient derived from the incomplete hydrolysis of starch, resulting in a fine, white to off-white, odorless powder. Renowned for its multifunctional properties, Dextrin serves as an effective absorbent, binder, and bulking agent, while also enhancing the viscosity of aqueous formulations. Commonly utilized in a wide array of products including foundations, moisturizers, hair care items, nail polish, powders, mascara, and various soaps and cleansers, it elevates product performance and texture. Furthermore, its solubility in hot water and limited solubility in cold water makes it an ideal component for diverse formulation needs, enhancing both stability and user experience in cosmetic applications.
