Hydrolyzed starches for texture, stability and sensory performance
AGENAMALT for Personal Care is a maltodextrin that can be integrated into dry, aqueous or hybrid cosmetic products. Depending on dosage and formulation matrix, it supports foam adhesion, optimises flow properties and contributes to a smooth sensory profile. This flexibility enables tailored solutions for both rinse-off and leave-on concepts.
Key benefits
- Improves powder flow and handling in dry formulations
- Enhances foam adhesion for improved shaving performance
- Supports smooth skin feel and soft-touch finish
- Easily soluble, suitable for aqueous and hybrid systems
- Neutral sensory profile, adaptable to diverse concepts
- As a good film-forming agent, it is also ideal for makeup products (such as primer, eyeliner, and setting spray)
In styling applications, AGENAMALT can serve as a structuring aid and carrier. Its solubility and film-forming contribution support hold and texture while enabling clean processing in water-based systems.
In emulsions and gel systems including creams, lotions, gels and face masks, AGENAMALT acts as a functional carrier and texture-supporting component. It contributes to balanced viscosity and a refined skin finish, supporting formulation stability without altering sensory neutrality.
Water-free and hybrid shaving formats require controlled foam development and skin adhesion. AGENAMALT supports foam stability and distribution, contributing to even application and a smoother shaving experience while maintaining good powder flow.

Technical & formulation insights
Processing guidance for balanced cosmetic performance
The performance of AGENAMALT depends on concentration, water availability and system composition. In dry applications, its low hygroscopicity supports storage stability. In aqueous systems, solubility and saccharide composition influence viscosity and film formation. Careful adjustment of dosage enables targeted control of texture and functional performance.
