Overview
Aluminum starch octenylsuccinate is a modified starch derivative used primarily in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It functions as an effective anticaking agent and viscosity enhancer, improving the flow properties, texture, and stability of powder-based and emulsion products. Its unique chemical modification imparts both hydrophilic and lipophilic characteristics, making it suitable for a wide range of formulations.

Key Properties

• Excellent anticaking effect – prevents clumping and improves powder flow.

• Viscosity enhancement – adds body and consistency to emulsions and suspensions.

• Oil absorption capacity – absorbs excess sebum, providing a mattifying effect.

• Good compatibility – works well with both water-based and oil-based systems.

• Smooth texture – imparts a silky, non-greasy feel to finished products.

• Stable under normal storage conditions.

Applications

• Powder cosmetics: Pressed powders, loose powders, and blush – improves compressibility and prevents caking.

• Color cosmetics: Foundations, eyeshadows, and concealers – enhances texture and application.

• Skin care: Creams, lotions, and sunscreens – acts as a thickening and stabilizing agent.

• Antiperspirants and deodorants: Improves powder adhesion and sensory feel.

• Hair care: Dry shampoos and styling powders – absorbs oil and improves manageability.

Recommended Use
Typical usage levels range from 1% to 15% depending on the formulation and desired effect. In powder formulations, 2–10% is common; in emulsions, 1–5% is typically effective.

Handling and Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight.

• Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent caking and contamination.

• Use appropriate personal protective equipment (dust mask, gloves) when handling.

Quality Assurance
Each batch is tested for active content, moisture, particle size, and viscosity performance to ensure consistent quality.
