- INCI name: ALUMINUM STARCH OCTENYLSUCCINATE
- EINECS/ELINCS number: -
- Classification: Aluminum salt
Namely
This aluminium salt is produced by reacting octenylsuccinic anhydride with starch. It is used in cosmetics as an anti-caking agent, a viscosity enhancer (flow resistance) and an absorbent. It is found in products such as lotions and make-up powders. For example, it can prevent foundation from settling on the skin or reduce the oily shine associated with certain lotions. In dry shampoos, it supports the action of a starch, usually rice starch.
Although aluminium is considered to be neurotoxic, no study has demonstrated the toxicity of this salt in cosmetics. Note that it is not used in antiperspirants.

Its functions (INCI)
- Absorbent : Absorbs water (or oil) in dissolved or fine form
- Anticaking : Helps ensure the fluidity of solid particles and limit their agglomeration in powder cosmetic products or hard mass cosmetics.
- Viscosity controlling : Increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetics
This ingredient is present in 1.48% of cosmetics.
