About this ingredient

Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide derived from starch (typically corn, potato, or rice) through enzymatic hydrolysis, used in cosmetics as a texture modifier and absorbent. It absorbs oils and moisture, creating a dry, smooth feel on skin while improving powder formulation stability. It is generally non-irritating and suitable for oily and combination skin types.
