We are thrilled to bring to you Cargill Beauty’s StarDesign™ Starch Range.
The range includes sustainably sourced thickeners, emulsifiers and sensory enhancers based on waxy corn (Maize).
The properties of the starches are modified to produce a range of ingredients, each with different functions perfect for use in beauty products.
Cargill Beauty’s preferred starch source is waxy corn due to its high content of branched glucose chains (amylopectine) that provide interesting properties like high oil absorption power.
