About Zea Mays Starch

Zea mays starch is a polysaccharide made up of linked sugar units.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to physically remove deposits from the skin or tooth surface, absorb liquids such as water or oil in a formula, and help powder ingredients flow evenly without forming lumps.[1] It is also used to help protect the skin from external factors and control the viscosity and flow of a formula.[1]
