Maltodextrin 100 g

A Functional Powder That Keeps Dry Formulas Stable and Easy to Process

Maltodextrin is produced through partial hydrolysis of starch, most often derived from corn, potato or rice, and it ranks among the most widely used auxiliary substances across the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Its main value lies in the ability to bind moisture, give powdery blends a smooth flowable texture and act as a neutral carrier for active ingredients. The 100 g packaging is well suited for home-scale trial batches, letting formulators test the behavior of the ingredient before scaling a recipe up. Within the cosmetic raw materials section this powder naturally sits alongside other functional additives that together shape the texture of the finished product.

By global consumption volume, maltodextrin is primarily tied to the food sector: it is used as a filler in instant drinks, sports nutrition, infant formulas, desserts and seasonings, and as a carrier for flavors and sweeteners, since it barely affects the taste of the finished product. In sports nutrition the powder is valued as a source of rapidly absorbed carbohydrates and often appears in post-workout recovery blends. In pharmaceuticals it is widely applied as a tablet and capsule filler because it provides the density and uniformity needed for pressed masses without reacting with active substances.

In cosmetic manufacturing maltodextrin serves as a texturizing and absorbing component. It is added to dry masks, body powders, baby powders and mattifying blends, since the powder absorbs excess moisture well and leaves a pleasant dry feel on skin. It is often combined with mineral ingredients such as Zinc Oxide Pharma Netherlands, producing soft powders with a gentle, soothing, loose structure. Maltodextrin is also used as a filler in dry scrubbing blends alongside natural abrasives, for example the Cellulose Coconut Scrub, which allows formulators to fine-tune the density and looseness of the finished composition.

In household chemistry the powder is sometimes introduced into dry cleaning blends and detergent tablets as a binding filler, while in the fragrance industry it can act as a carrier for dry aromatic compositions and sachets. When working with liquid or cream bases, such as the Cream Soap Base, a small amount of maltodextrin can be introduced for a light mattifying effect and better texture stability of the finished bar.

Recommended dosage depends on the purpose of the blend: dry cosmetic powders typically use 10 to 20 percent of total mass, capsule and tablet fillers can reach 40 to 50 percent, while food and sports formulations follow the target recipe of the finished product. Maltodextrin is introduced at the cold stage while mixing dry ingredients, and it dissolves easily in warm or cold water without clumping when added gradually with stirring. Store the powder in an airtight package, in a dry and cool place away from moisture, since hygroscopicity is one of its defining characteristics.
