Starch Chemistry for Personal Care Sarah Thiewes Glenn Corp., part of Azelis Americas

Abstract
More consumers today are seeking more natural sounding INCI names on their Personal Care Products pushing formulators to look at alternatives for tried and true ingredients. While starch is not new to the industry, many formulators are either not familiar with how to work with starches in their formulas, what benefits starch can bring, or both. Starch can be a great natu- ral alternative to some of the synthetic ingredients some consumers and brands are looking to avoid. This presentation is designed to provide a background on starch chemistry and highlight the benefits of native and modified starches in a variety of Personal Care formulations.
