Hydrolyzed Corn Starch

Hydrolyzed Corn Starch is the chemically chopped-up version of corn starch, produced by the hydrolysis of cornstarch through the action of acids or enzymes. It consists primarily of D-glucose, maltose, and maltodextrins — a blend of poly- and monosaccharides. It is used in cosmetic formulations for its binding, humectant, skin conditioning, and viscosity-controlling properties. It also reportedly improves foam quality, contributing to a creamy foam texture.
