SODIUM OXIDIZED STARCH ACETATE/SUCCINATE.

Insufficient Data CAS - / FILM FORMING, HAIR CONDITIONING, HUMECTANT, SKIN CONDITIONING

SODIUM OXIDIZED STARCH ACETATE/SUCCINATE is a versatile polymer engineered to create a protective, continuous film on the skin, thereby supporting moisture retention. Beyond its humectant properties, it acts as a conditioning agent for both skin and hair, while also serving as a valuable texturizer and thickener in formulations.

Science

Mechanism of Action

On a molecular level, SODIUM OXIDIZED STARCH ACETATE/SUCCINATE forms a continuous, biomimetic film across the skin's surface. This film acts as a barrier, simultaneously reducing transepidermal water loss by retaining moisture as a humectant, and actively conditioning the stratum corneum to maintain optimal skin integrity and suppleness.

Stability

This ingredient demonstrates optimal synthesis and processing conditions within a pH range of 7.5 to 9.0, extending more broadly to 6.0-10.0 for its creation. While these parameters indicate a preference for neutral to slightly alkaline environments during its synthesis, specific cosmetic formulation stability data is currently unquantified.

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

Comprehensive safety assessments by organizations like CIR or SCCS are not yet available for this specific ingredient. While structurally related modified starches are deemed safe for food consumption by the FDA, this does not directly translate to a dedicated cosmetic safety profile. Its classification as 'Not rated' by some industry resources suggests it may be a relatively nascent ingredient within cosmetic applications.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

Despite its promising multifunctional role in film-forming, hydration, and conditioning, the current absence of dedicated cosmetic safety assessments and clinical efficacy studies limits a definitive evaluation.
