Modified Tapioca Starch

Modified Tapioca Starch is derived from cassava root and has been chemically or physically altered to enhance its functional properties compared to native tapioca starch. The modification process (which may include cross-linking, esterification, or etherification) improves its stability under varying pH, temperature, and shear conditions, making it particularly valuable in cosmetic formulations where consistent texture and performance are required. Pre-gelatinized versions dissolve in cold water without heating, offering formulators ease of processing and the ability to create smooth, non-tacky textures with excellent oil absorption properties.
