THE STORY OF NANOFLO ASO
Nanoflo ASO: The Invisible Touch of Soft-Matte Control
Nanoflo ASO is a modified plant-based starch widely used in cosmetics for oil absorption, mattifying effect, and velvety skin feel. It enhances product textures, reduces shine, and improves spreadability — making it a key ingredient in modern skincare, suncare, and color cosmetics.
From Natural Starch to High-Performance Powder
Derived from native plant starch (typically corn), the material undergoes controlled esterification with octenylsuccinic anhydride and aluminum salts. This chemical modification improves oil-binding capacity, flow properties, and stability — transforming simple starch into a functional, high-efficiency cosmetic polymer.
Mattify. Smooth. Enhance.
Nanoflo ASO provides multiple functional benefits:
✅ Absorbs excess oil without drying skin
✅ Creates a soft-focus matte finish
✅ Improves pressability and binding in powder products
✅ Enhances sensory feel — silky, non-tacky, lightweight
✅ Reduces greasiness in emulsions and sunscreens
Used in foundations, face powders, primers, deodorants, sunscreens, dry shampoos, and lotions.
Stable, Safe & Formulator-Friendly
Typical usage level:1–20%depending on product type.
Compatible with oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, hot and cold processing, and anhydrous systems.
Non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and globally compliant for cosmetic and personal-care use.
Store in cool, dry conditions to prevent clumping and maintain flowability.
Formulator’s Queries, We Answered
1. What is NanoFlo-ASO?
NanoFlo-ASO is the next-generation, nano-optimized version of Aluminium Succinate Starch, developed specifically for high-performance personal care formulations. By utilizing nanotechnology, NanoFlo-ASO offers superior texture modification, oil control, and enhanced sensory benefits compared to traditional starch derivatives.
2. How does NanoFlo-ASO differ from Aluminium Succinate Starch?
NanoFlo-ASO features a much finer particle size and improved surface activity compared to standard Aluminium Succinate Starch. This upgrade enables better spreadability, faster absorption, more effective mattifying properties, and a luxurious, lightweight skin feel.
3. Why has Aluminium Succinate Starch been changed to NanoFlo-ASO?
The shift to NanoFlo-ASO reflects advancements in cosmetic science and consumer demand for high-performance, sensorially superior products. NanoFlo-ASO enhances the versatility and effectiveness of starch-based ingredients in modern formulations.
4. What are the benefits of using NanoFlo-ASO in personal care products?
Enhanced oil absorption and mattifying effect
Smoother, silkier skin finish
Lightweight feel without chalkiness
Improves product spreadability and sensory profile
Excellent compatibility with both water-based and oil-based systems
5. What types of products can include NanoFlo-ASO?
NanoFlo-ASO is ideal for a wide range of personal care and cosmetic products, including:
Face powders and foundations
Mattifying creams and primers
Oil-control lotions
BB and CC creams
Sunscreens and tinted moisturizers
Hair care (volumizing or dry shampoos)
6. Is NanoFlo-ASO safe for use in skincare and cosmetics?
Yes, NanoFlo-ASO is safe for use in personal care products. It builds upon the well-established safety profile of Aluminium Succinate Starch while benefiting from advanced nano-processing techniques to improve performance without introducing harmful effects.
7. What is the CAS number and INCI name of Aluminium Succinate Starch?
CAS Number: 9087-70-1
INCI Name: Aluminium Starch Octenylsuccinate
Note: NanoFlo-ASO retains the same INCI designation but may include branding references depending on regional regulatory requirements.
8. How does NanoFlo-ASO improve product stability?
NanoFlo-ASO helps to enhance the stability of emulsions by acting as a physical stabilizer, absorbing excess oils and minimizing greasiness. It also improves the shelf-life and consistency of final formulations by reducing product separation over time.
9. How should NanoFlo-ASO be incorporated into formulations?
NanoFlo-ASO can be added during the mixing phase and is compatible with both hot and cold processes. It disperses easily with light agitation and does not require special solubilization techniques. Typical usage levels range between 1% to 5%, depending on the application.
