Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate is a modified starch-derived ingredient used in cosmetic and personal-care formulations primarily as a viscosity-controlling agent, thickener, stabilizer, binder, bulking agent and texture modifier. It is produced by combining starch cross-linking with hydroxypropylation, creating a modified starch with functional properties different from native starch.
In cosmetic formulations, Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate can contribute to formulation structure, viscosity and texture. It can be considered for a range of skin-care, hair-care, cleansing, body-care and styling formulations, depending on the specific grade and formulation requirements. Cosmetic ingredient references identify it under the INCI name Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate.
Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate is a chemically modified starch. JECFA describes it as starch obtained through esterification with sodium trimetaphosphate or phosphorus oxychloride combined with etherification using propylene oxide.
The cross-linking and hydroxypropyl modification alter the behavior of the starch, allowing it to provide useful thickening, stabilizing, binding and texture-modifying properties.
Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate can be used to increase viscosity and provide body to suitable formulations.
Potential applications include:
The actual viscosity contribution depends on the grade, concentration, hydration conditions, processing and other formulation ingredients.
Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate is recognized for viscosity-controlling and viscosity-increasing functionality. PubChem identifies its cosmetic use classification as bulking and viscosity controlling, while Health Canada lists viscosity increasing as one of its functions.
It can therefore be considered when controlled formulation consistency and rheology are required.
Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate can contribute to the physical stability and structure of suitable cosmetic systems.
It may be considered in:
The actual stabilization performance depends on the complete formulation and should be established through formulation and stability testing.
Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate can modify the texture and physical characteristics of finished products.
It can contribute to:
Cosmetic references describe Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate as a texture-enhancing ingredient used in personal-care products.
The modified starch structure can provide binding functionality in suitable formulation systems. Health Canada lists binder among the recognized purposes for Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate.
This property can be relevant to selected cosmetic and personal-care formulations where cohesion and structural integrity are required.
Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate can be evaluated in skin-care products requiring viscosity control, texture enhancement and formulation stability.
Potential applications include:
Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate can also be considered in selected hair-care products.
Potential applications include:
Its suitability depends on compatibility with surfactants, conditioning ingredients, electrolytes and other polymers.
Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate can contribute to consistency and texture in suitable cleansing formulations.
It may be evaluated in:
Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate can be used in suitable creams and lotions to help modify viscosity, body and texture.
Potential formulation contributions include:
The final performance depends on the complete formulation.
Cosmetic references indicate that Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate can be used across personal-care categories, including conditioners, facial-care products, body washes, sunscreens and hairstyling products.
Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate is a cross-linked and hydroxypropylated starch derivative.
It is also known by related names including:
The U.S. FDA lists these names for the substance associated with CAS 53124-00-8.
Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate is generally supplied as a white to off-white, odourless powder. Depending on the drying and processing method, modified starches may occur as granules, aggregates or, when pregelatinized, flakes or amorphous powder.
Typical quality-control parameters may include:
The exact numerical acceptance criteria should be taken from the specification of the particular commercial grade.
For non-pregelatinized Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate, JECFA describes the material as insoluble in cold water, while it forms typical colloidal solutions with viscous properties in hot water and is insoluble in ethanol.
The actual hydration behavior can vary according to processing, grade and whether the product has been pregelatinized.
Important formulation factors include:
The selected commercial grade should always be evaluated in the intended formulation.
