About this ingredient

Zea Mays Starch is a natural polysaccharide extracted from corn kernels. It functions as an absorbent and anti-caking agent in cosmetic formulations, helping to absorb excess moisture and oils while providing a smooth, matte finish to powders and dry products. It also acts as a mild skin conditioning agent with gentle texture-smoothing properties.
