What is it?

Maltodextrin is an emulsion stabilizer also known for its hydrating and skin barrier-protecting properties. It is a polysaccharide made up of short to medium chains of glucose units. It is produced from starch through a process called hydrolysis, where long starch molecules are broken down into smaller, more manageable units.

Information

Maltodextrin is an emulsion stabilizer also known for its hydrating and skin barrier-protecting properties. It is a polysaccharide made up of short to medium chains of glucose units. It is produced from starch through a process called hydrolysis, where long starch molecules are broken down into smaller, more manageable units.

Where does it come from?

Maltodextrin is derived from plant-based starches, with the specific source varying by region. In the United States, corn or potato starch is most commonly used, while in Asia, rice is the preferred raw material. In Europe, wheat or barley serves as the primary source. At Oliveda, ours is derived from potatoes. The production process involves the enzymatic or acidic hydrolysis of starch, where the large polysaccharide chains are broken down into smaller dextrins, creating maltodextrin.

What are the benefits?

PROTECTING HYDRATING CONDITIONING

What are the benefits?

  • Hydrating: It serves as an absorbent, drawing moisture from the environment and making it available for skin cells, and maintaining hydration.
  • Protective Barrier: It creates a protective barrier on the surface of the skin or hair, shielding it from environmental factors and locking in moisture.
  • Emulsion Stabilizer: Maltodextrin helps to stabilize emulsions, ensuring that oil and water-based ingredients remain well-mixed and the product maintains its consistency.
  • Conditioning: It conditions both skin and hair, providing a soft, smooth feel and contributing to the efficacy and overall sensory experience of the product.
  • Oil Controlling: Its moisture-absorbing properties make it valuable in formulations designed to control oil and maintain a matte finish.

How is it used in our products?

Maltodextrin is included for its ability to create a protective moisture barrier, shielding skin from environmental factors, and for its skin hydrating and conditioning properties.
