Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate has a unique ability to mitigate the greasiness produced by occlusive agents used in lotions, creams and ointments. In aqueous and anhydrous products for skin care, it reduces the perceived oiliness of formulations, leaving a soft, dry and matte finish on the skin. Starches can improve aesthetics and combat greasiness in formulations without causing whitening on the skin. Can replace talc in powder and makeup formulations.
