In most personal care emulsions, STRUCTURE XL starch can aid in emulsion stabilization, aesthetics enhancement and viscosity build. An emulsion containing STRUCTURE XL starch will have outstanding stability over a broad temperature range (-30̊C up to 50̊C). It also brings body to the formulation and a conditioning after feel. STRUCTURE XL starch is readily cold water dispersible so that no pre-mixes are needed. STRUCTURE XL starch can be added to the oil phase or at the end of a production, so a “one pot process” is possible, leading to major savings in production costs. Can be added at any step of the formulating process. Emulsions made with STRUCTURE XL starch do not require homogenization.
Because of its nonionic character and broad compatibility, STRUCTURE XL starch provides the formulator with the flexibility to formulate over a wide pH range with high amounts of mono- and divalent salts (up to 20%) and a large variety of raw materials. STRUCTURE XL starch has also shown foam enhancing properties in cleansing systems at levels as low as 1-2%.
To illustrate its versatility, a skin cream can be formulated using only STRUCTURE XL, an emulsifier and an emollient. Moreover, the formulation, based on three ingredients, excluding water and preservative, can be created at room temperature.
