Starch Substitution in Powder Cleanser Formulation

# Starch Substitution in Powder Cleanser

Regarding the substitution of Corn Starch Powder with other starches like wheat starch in a powder cleanser formulation, it is generally possible to use other types of starches as a substitute.

In formulations like the example provided (using Amino Powder Cleanser and Vitamin B5), starches primarily function as a filler or diluent for the active cleansing ingredients. They help to provide bulk, improve texture, and can affect the flow and feel of the powder.

Different starches, such as rice starch or potato starch, have varying particle sizes, absorption properties, and textures. While they can likely replace corn starch, the final feel and performance of the powder cleanser might change. You may need to experiment to find the starch that gives the desired result.

As noted by the staff, if you are using a high percentage of Amino Powder Cleanser, you might consider increasing the proportion of the starch (or other powder base) to help dilute the concentration.
