Where is Dextrin palmitate used?

• Food: stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions and improves texture and mouthfeel of dressings, sauces, and dairy-style products
• Personal care: modifies skin-feel of anhydrous and emulsion-based cosmetics
• Sunscreens, foundations, and moisturizers: controls spreadability and reduces tackiness
• Cosmetics: dispersant for pigments and UV filters, improving homogeneity
• Lipstick and color cosmetics: contributes to wax-phase structuring and stabilizes pigment dispersions
• It functions as an emulsifier, rheology modifier, and surface-active agent.

Good to know: Selection depends on the specific regulatory requirements of the target market.
