Distarch Phosphate is a modified starch produced by crosslinking starch with a phosphate-based reagent. It is used in cosmetic and personal-care formulations as a viscosity-controlling agent, stabilizer, thickener and texture modifier. Compared with native starch, crosslinked Distarch Phosphate can provide improved resistance to processing conditions and help maintain formulation structure.
Distarch Phosphate is commonly derived from botanical starch sources such as corn, potato, rice or other suitable starches. The crosslinking process introduces phosphate bridges between starch chains, changing the functional properties of the original starch.
In cosmetic formulations, Distarch Phosphate can contribute to viscosity, texture and stability. It is particularly useful when a starch-based ingredient with improved structural resistance is required. The exact performance depends on the starch source, degree of crosslinking, particle characteristics and formulation conditions.
Distarch Phosphate can increase viscosity and improve the consistency of suitable aqueous formulations. Its viscosity contribution depends on concentration, starch source, processing conditions and the specific commercial grade.
The crosslinked starch structure can provide controlled rheological properties and help maintain formulation consistency. This makes Distarch Phosphate useful in creams, lotions, gels and other personal-care systems.
Distarch Phosphate can help improve physical stability and maintain formulation structure in suitable cosmetic systems. Its performance depends on the formulation composition and processing conditions.
Distarch Phosphate can contribute to the texture and sensory characteristics of cosmetic products. It may provide a smooth, structured consistency when incorporated at an appropriate level.
Distarch Phosphate can be incorporated into selected creams, lotions, moisturizers, masks and other skin-care formulations where viscosity and texture modification are required.
The ingredient can be used in personal-care formulations requiring a modified starch with enhanced functional properties compared with native starch. It can support formulation consistency and rheological control.
Distarch Phosphate is a polymeric starch derivative, so its technical properties depend on the source starch and crosslinking process. Important grade-specific parameters may include viscosity, moisture, pH, particle size, solubility or dispersibility and degree of modification.
There is no single universal viscosity, moisture, molecular weight or pH specification for every Distarch Phosphate grade. Numerical values should therefore be taken from the current TDS/COA of the exact commercial grade rather than assigned generically.
Distarch Phosphate can be used in:
Distarch Phosphate is a chemically modified starch in which phosphate crosslinks are introduced between starch chains. It is used as a functional ingredient for viscosity, texture and formulation stability.
Distarch Phosphate is used primarily for viscosity control, thickening, stabilization and texture modification in suitable cosmetic and personal-care formulations.
Yes. Distarch Phosphate is a crosslinked modified starch.
The commonly listed CAS number for Distarch Phosphate is 55934-93-5.
Yes. Distarch Phosphate can function as a thickener and viscosity-controlling ingredient, depending on the grade and formulation.
Yes. It is a chemically modified polysaccharide based on starch.
Distarch Phosphate can be produced from different botanical starch sources, including corn, potato and other starch materials, depending on the commercial grade.
Yes. Cosmetic-grade Distarch Phosphate can be used in suitable skin-care, hair-care and personal-care formulations.
Native starch has not undergone phosphate crosslinking. Distarch Phosphate has been chemically modified through crosslinking, which can improve its resistance and functional performance under selected formulation conditions.
No. Because it is a modified polymeric starch material, its composition varies with the starch source and degree of modification.
