Structure XL

Structure XL starch is a naturally-derived and biodegradable rheology and esthetic modifier that enables more stable and natural emulsions for hair and skin care applications. Due to its low surface energy, it reduces the size of emulsion droplets enabling efficient stability and also builds synergistic viscosity with emulsifiers. Easy to use, it takes only two minutes to completely disperse in cold water with no pre-mixes needed. Flexible over wide pH range (3-9).

Technical Details & Test Data

Synergistic Thickening: When increasing the use level emulsifier (1.75%), STRUCTURE XL starch synergistically increases viscosity

Effects of STRUCTURE XL starch on emulsion viscosity in a multi-fruit base at pH 4.0
Stability: Addition of STRUCTURE XL starch to an emulsion base significantly reduces average emulsion particle size resulting in more stable emulsions.
