Amidon de maïs

Amidon de maïs naturel is a fine white powder extracted from the endosperm of corn (Zea mays) kernels, composed primarily of amylose and amylopectin polysaccharides. In cosmetic formulations, it is valued for its exceptional ability to absorb excess sebum and moisture, imparting a smooth, silky, and dry skin feel that makes it particularly popular in talc-free body powders, dry shampoos, and mattifying products. Formulators choose it as a natural, renewable, and biodegradable alternative to synthetic powders and talc, appreciated for its gentle skin compatibility and its capacity to improve the texture and spreadability of both leave-on and rinse-off formulations.
