Oryza Sativa Starch

Rice starch appears as a tasteless white powder and is obtained by treating rice grains. It differs from other types of starch due to the characteristic polyhedral shape of the granules and their small diameter. This peculiarity gives rice starch ease of digestion and a low probability of causing allergies. It is often used as a thickening agent in the formulation of cosmetics, but also in the kitchen, in the preparation of gluten-free recipes. In the field of personal care it is highly appreciated for its soothing and absorbent properties. It is often added to baby bath water to soothe irritation and is also used for redness caused by shaving. Also very popular in purifying masks to absorb excess sebum without being aggressive on the skin.
