Cosmetic applications
We offer modified and native rice, corn and tapioca starches for the cosmetics industry. For example, these are used in the following applications:
- EMULSIONEN
- DECORATIVE COSMETICS
- POWDER
- DRY SHAMPOOS & CONDITIONERS
- DEODORANTS
- LIQUIDE SHAMPOOS & CONDITIONERS
Starches occur naturally in the form of small white granules which vary in terms of shape and size depending on their origin.
Starches absorb fats/sebum, improve the texture of the skin and form an excellent basis for powders.
Boiling-resistant Starches
By cross-linking of starches heat tolerance of starches is granted. Such starches are cook-stabile and can be added to the aqueous phase before emulsification.
Starch granules from different botanical origin differ a lot in size and shape. Rice starches are among the smallest of vegetable powders, measuring approx. 8 μm.

Native starches are naturally derived and renewable polymers.
Our natural certified and organic certified starches provide a cost-efficient solution for a silky skin-feel and good oil absorption with a positive impact on the ingredient label.
As native starches are sensitive to heat treatment in aqueous suspension they have to be added to a cream after the emulsification process (cool down phase at approx. 45°C).

Micronized starches are used as powder base for dry shampoo aerosols and dry conditioners.
Especially rice starch like our D.S.A. 7, with the smallest particle size of all starch granules, effectively binds sebum and adds volume and shine.
Oil absorption can also be enhanced by lipophilic starches like AGENAFLO 9050 and AGENAFLO OS 9051.
AGENAFLO 9050 is a unique aluminum-free alternative to commonly used aluminum starch octenylsuccinate.
