Product Overview

RBH supplies high-quality cosmetic grade starches developed to improve the sensory performance, texture and functionality of modern personal care formulations. Derived from natural renewable sources, starches are widely used as multifunctional ingredients, providing excellent oil absorption, mattifying properties and a smooth, silky skin feel while contributing to product stability.

Cosmetic starches are commonly incorporated into powders, creams, lotions, deodorants, dry shampoos and colour cosmetics, where they absorb excess oil, provide a smooth, even application and contribute to a soft, silky skin feel. Their lightweight, soft-focus effect helps reduce shine while creating a smooth, natural-looking finish.

Available in native and modified grades, cosmetic starches can be selected to meet specific formulation requirements including enhanced moisture resistance, improved stability or optimised sensory characteristics. Their excellent compatibility with other cosmetic ingredients makes them suitable for a broad range of skincare, beauty and personal care applications.
