THE STORY OF NANOACTIV GLUCO
Nanoactiv Gluco: The Natural Humectant & Binder for Smooth Cosmetic Textures
Nanoactiv Gluco is a spray-dried carbohydrate powder derived from starch hydrolysis. Used in both cosmetics and personal-care applications, it functions as a humectant, binder, and texture enhancer. It helps maintain product smoothness, improves moisture retention, and stabilizes powder and dry-blend formulations.
Starch-Derived Carbohydrates Processed for High Purity & Stability
Nanoactiv Gluco is produced by enzymatic or acid hydrolysis of starch from corn, wheat, or tapioca.
The resulting glucose-rich solution is spray-dried into a free-flowing, non-hygroscopic powder.
TRCkem provides cosmetic-grade Dried Glucose Syrup with:
