Tapioca Pure
Oil Absorbing Hydrophilic Starch
TAPIOCA PURE is a native starch which has application in powder, balm and emulsion systems. Because the starch is sterilized, the TAPIOCA PURE is specifically targeted for the cosmetics market. The high purity of the starch allows for its use in a broad range of cosmetics products and makes the starch an excellent talc replacement. TAPIOCA PURE is recommended for use in the powder form in body powders, with or in place of talc, in pressed powders, in fragranced balms, in aftershave and afterbath products. The microbial profile conforms to the specifications generally required for cosmetics used around the eye (<100 TPC). As a powder, the TAPIOCA PURE imparts a smooth, soft feel to formulations. Its most exciting application is in liquid talc hydro-alcoholic balms. The TAPIOCA PURE interacts positively with the hydro-alcoholic vehicle to give a light powder deposition resulting in an unusually pleasant feel on skin. At moderate quantities in a balm formula, the TAPIOCA PURE leaves a sensory perception of powder deposition with no visible whitening on skin. At higher levels of incorporation, a visible powder deposition can be achieved. The hydroalcoholic balm concept with moderate levels of TAPIOCA PURE is excellent for after bath, pre and after shave, and fragrance delivery applications. Especially on hydrated skin, the balm can leave a cooling, refreshing feel. The balm concept with high levels can be useful in liquid foot powder applications, leaving an absorbent powder on the skin. Regardless of the level used, the final effect is a unique, appealing feel on the skin, superior to many other powders and starches. The TAPIOCA PURE can also be used in emulsions to change the texture of formulas. The starch can be dispersed into emulsions at low levels to give increased cushion and richness to a formulation. The TAPIOCA PURE has a negligible effect on the viscosity of an emulsion. The starch, when incorporated into an emulsion, does leave a soft after feel on the skin.
