Amylopectin is a naturally derived polysaccharide known for its exceptional film-forming and moisture-retaining properties, making it an ideal ingredient for enhancing the texture and performance of skincare formulations.
Natural Science
Derived from starch, Amylopectin is a highly branched polysaccharide that offers unique benefits in cosmetic formulations. It functions as a natural thickener and film-former, working to:
- Improve Texture – creates a silky, smooth application and enhances the overall sensory experience
- Boost Moisture Retention – forms a protective barrier to lock in hydration
- Enhance Product Stability – improves the consistency and longevity of formulations
- Support Even Application – helps distribute active ingredients uniformly across the skin
- Minimize Greasiness – contributes to a balanced, non-oily finish
Benefits
Integrating Amylopectin into your skincare regimen provides enhanced product texture, prolonged hydration, and an improved skin feel. This ingredient is pivotal in achieving a luxurious, non-greasy finish while ensuring optimal delivery of active ingredients.
How It’s Used
Our Glyco-Biotic Ultra-Synbiotic Facial is meticulously formulated with Amylopectin to elevate the sensory experience and ensure even application. This formulation leverages Amylopectin to create a lightweight yet effective barrier that optimizes moisture retention and skin comfort.
Research
Preliminary studies and formulation trials suggest that Amylopectin enhances the sensory attributes of skincare products by providing a smoother texture and improved moisture-locking capabilities. Its natural origin and functional properties make it a valuable component in advanced cosmetic formulations.
