Rice Starches for pleasant skin feel
Rice-based starch solutions for personal care, with soft skin feel, opacity and a mattifying finish
AGRANA's native rice starches are fine, rice-based ingredients for personal care and cosmetic formulations. Their small particle size supports sensory performance, opacity, adhesion, matting, skin feel and texture across powder-based and emulsion-based care concepts.
The portfolio suits decorative cosmetics and skin care. In powders, make-up, eye shadow, complexion products and selected emulsions, AGRANA rice starches build a velvety skin impression, smooth application and a natural-looking finish. Depending on product type and formulation, they improve opacity, support adhesion to the skin, add creaminess, reduce shine and ease the transition between powdered and unpowdered skin.
