What it does
Maltodextrin is made by breaking down starch from corn, potato or wheat. In cosmetics it bulks out powders, carries plant extracts and helps hold formulas together; in dry shampoos it soaks up oil.
CosIng lists it as absorbent, binding, emulsion stabilising, film forming and skin conditioning. It is plant-derived and affects none of the six checks.
Functions: absorbent, binding, film forming
