HYDROLYZED STARCH

Safety grade: A

Hydrolyzed starch is a processed form of starch (commonly derived from corn, potatoes, or wheat) that has been broken down into smaller molecules. It acts like a humectant, helping skin retain moisture and feel softer and smoother.

This ingredient draws moisture into the skin, conditions and softens it, and forms a protective barrier to help shield skin from environmental stressors.
