Maltodextrin

Low risk

FunctionCarrier

What it is — Maltodextrin (INCI: Maltodextrin) is a plant-sugar-derived carbohydrate used as a carrier and texture ingredient.

What it does — It is commonly used to help stabilize and deliver active ingredients, to bind powders and to adjust texture.

Typical use — It appears in serums, masks, powders and a wide range of formulas as a supporting carrier or film-former.

Who it suits / good to know — Non-active and generally inert on skin. It shapes how a product is built and feels rather than delivering a skincare effect.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
