Hydroxypropyl Starch: The PlantDerived, ColdProcess Texturizer for Modern Cosmetic Formulations
description1
Product Description
Our Hydroxypropyl Starch is a high-purity, modified starch produced from non-GMO waxy maize or other premium starch sources through controlled etherification. The product appears as a white to off-white, free-flowing powder with a bland odor and excellent dispersibility. It is available in various grades tailored for cold-process or hot-process formulation, offering rapid viscosity build, shear-thinning rheology, and superior suspension properties. Its aqueous solutions are clear, transparent, and stable across a wide temperature range (-30°C to 50°C). With INCI name Hydroxypropyl Starch (or Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate for phosphate-crosslinked variants) and CAS numbers 9049-76-7 or 68584-86-1, this ingredient is ideal for formulating natural, biodegradable, and eco-conscious personal care products. It complies with international cosmetic standards (EC, CIR, IECIC) and is suitable for use in emulsions, gels, creams, lotions, shampoos, body washes, sunscreens, and makeup products.

Nutritional Composition
Hydroxypropyl Starch is a modified polysaccharide derived from natural starch. It is composed primarily of amylose and amylopectin chains with hydroxypropyl substituents. It contains no proteins, fats, or significant micronutrients. As a high-purity cosmetic ingredient, it is free from preservatives, GMOs (when sourced from non-GMO), and common allergens.
Provides Effective Thickening & Texture Enhancement
Hydroxypropyl Starch delivers rapid and efficient viscosity build at low use levels, imparting a rich, creamy, and luxurious texture to emulsions, gels, and lotions while maintaining a light, nongreasy skin feel.
Stabilizes Emulsions & Suspends Particles
It acts as a powerful emulsion stabilizer and suspending agent, preventing oilwater separation and keeping insoluble ingredients (such as pigments, exfoliating beads, or sunscreen filters) uniformly dispersed throughout the product shelf life.
Delivers Excellent Film-Forming & Sensory Benefits
It forms a continuous, flexible film on skin and hair, providing a smooth, velvety after-feel and improving the spreadability and wear comfort of color cosmetics and sunscreens.
Offers Cold-Process Convenience & Energy Savings
Certain grades disperse and thicken instantly in cold water, eliminating the need for heating during manufacturing and reducing energy consumption and production time.
