Maltodextrin

Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide derived from starch, typically corn, potato, or rice. In cosmetics, it functions primarily as a film-forming agent, helping to create a smooth, protective layer on the skin or hair. It also acts as a binding agent and can help stabilize emulsions, improving the overall texture and feel of products.
