About this ingredient

Dextrin is a polysaccharide derived from the partial hydrolysis of starch, commonly used in cosmetics as a film-forming and binding agent. It provides texture, absorbency, and helps create a smooth application and wear on skin. It also functions as a gentle thickener and can improve the sensory feel of powders and dry formulations.
