Maltodextrin
A plant-starch-derived carrier and light film-former used to stabilize formulas, carry actives, and fine-tune texture.
What it does
Maltodextrin is a carbohydrate from plant starch. In formulas it works as a carrier for other ingredients, a mild film-former that can give a smoothing finish, and a texture and stability aid. It is benign and largely a behind-the-scenes helper rather than a skincare active.
