Starch Care™

A Naturally-Derived Oligo-Saccharide with Unique Texture
Foam booster with rich texture • Repairs damaged hair and provides shine • Prevents skin roughness and redness

Maltooligosyl glucoside
A starch-derived cosmetic ingredient with rich foaming and texture properties that protects skin and hair from damage.

Starch Care™ is a functional oligo-saccharide derived from starch, mainly composed of maltooligosyl glucoside. Maltooligosyl glucoside consists of a trehalose molecule bound to one-to-three glucose units. Starch Care™ is a non-reducing saccharide with a unique “moist but non-sticky” texture and excellent thermal and chemical stability; it does not participate in the Maillard reaction, making it suitable for a wide range of formulations.

Key benefits

• Reduces skin roughness

• Enhances foaming quality

• Homogenises emulsified particles

• Improves texture

• Protects hair from environmental damage

• Improves hair lustre

• Low cariogenicity for oral care

FOAM COMPARISON

Hydrogenated starch hydrolysate (sugar alcohol)

Starch-derived carbohydrate liquid comprising maltooligosyl glucoside and hydrogenated starch hydrolysate.

Skin-cleansing agent samples with and without Starch Care™ were diluted ten-fold with distilled water, beaten in a blender for one minute, and equal foam volumes were funnelled onto mesh. Photographs show the foam three minutes after blending.

BENEFIT 1 – Produces soft & bouncy foam

Adding Starch Care™ to a skin cleanser preserves foam shape, creating a soft, bouncy lather.

BENEFIT 2 – Prevents skin roughness

Starch Care™ significantly reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin redness caused by sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS).

BENEFIT 3 – Improves hair lustre

Treatment with Starch Care™ increased the contrast gloss of damaged hair.

BENEFIT 4 – Restores damaged hair

A protective-coating effect from Starch Care™ leads to visible restoration of damaged cuticles (SEM imaging).
