DRY-FLO® ELITE BN: The Ultimate Sensory Enhancer for Cosmetics

DRY-FLO® ELITE BN (INCI: Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate) is a modified corn starch that serves as a highly effective sensory enhancer in cosmetic formulations. This unique ingredient is prized for its ability to absorb excess oil, reduce shine, and impart a smooth, silky, and non-tacky feel to the skin. It's a versatile powder that can significantly improve the texture and performance of a wide range of cosmetic products.

Why Choose DRY-FLO® ELITE BN for Cosmetics?

• Oil Absorption and Mattifying Effect: DRY-FLO® ELITE BN excels at absorbing excess sebum, making it ideal for formulations designed for oily or combination skin. It creates a matte finish, reducing shine and providing a more even skin tone.
• Improved Texture and Feel: It imparts a luxurious, smooth, and silky feel to the skin, eliminating the greasy or sticky sensation often associated with oil-based products. This "slip" enhances the application and spreadability of creams, lotions, and powders.
• Powder Flow and Dispersion: In powder formulations, DRY-FLO® ELITE BN improves flow and dispersion, preventing clumping and ensuring even application.
• Soft Focus Effect: It can contribute to a soft-focus effect, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and pores by diffusing light.
• Binding Agent: It can act as a binding agent in pressed powders, helping to hold the formulation together and prevent crumbling.

Applications of DRY-FLO® ELITE BN in Cosmetics:

DRY-FLO® ELITE BN can be incorporated into a wide variety of cosmetic products:

• Facial Makeup:
  • Foundations and Primers: It improves the texture, wear, and oil control of liquid and powder foundations. It also helps to create a smooth base for makeup application when used in primers.
  • Powders (Loose and Pressed): It enhances the flow, application, and feel of loose and pressed powders, providing a matte finish and preventing caking.
  • Concealers: It improves the texture and wear of concealers, preventing creasing and providing a more natural finish.

  • Creams and Lotions: It reduces the greasy feel of richer creams and lotions, making them more comfortable for daily use, especially for those with oily skin.
