Dextrin, Yellow Powder (DE138)

Dextrin, Yellow Powder (DE138) (INCI: Dextrin) is a versatile ingredient derived from the incomplete hydrolysis of starch, resulting in a fine, yellow, odorless powder. This multifunctional agent serves as an absorbent, binder, and bulking agent, making it an invaluable addition to various formulations in cosmetics and personal care products. Its ability to increase aqueous viscosity enhances the texture and performance of products such as foundations, moisturizers, hair care items, nail polish, powders, mascara, and soaps & cleansers. Additionally, Dextrin dissolves easily in both cold and hot water, while remaining insoluble in diethyl ether and alcohol, which further broadens its utility in the cosmetic industry.
