About

On an ingredient list it is written as Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate. It is synthetic (aluminum salt of octenylsuccinic-anhydride-modified starch).

In the Formula

It is a texture material. It governs how a powder presses, how it feels under a brush, and how light scatters across the surface once applied.

The Evidence

Its safety for cosmetic use has been assessed by the expert panel review Final report on the safety assessment of aluminum starch octenylsuccinate (Nair B, 2002, Int J Toxicol, PMID 12042058). We cite what the ingredient is assessed for, not what a finished product was claimed to do.

Honest Limits

Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate does its job inside the formula. It is not an active, and nothing on this page should be read as a treatment claim.
