General Description:

Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate is a modified starch derived from the reaction of aluminum salts with octenylsuccinic anhydride and starch. It is a white, odorless powder that is commonly used in the cosmetic industry due to its excellent oil-absorbing and texture-enhancing properties. The modification process improves the starch’s ability to function in both aqueous and oily environments, making it highly versatile in formulations.

Uses in the Cosmetic Industry:

Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate is widely used in various cosmetic products for the following purposes:

  • Oil Absorbent: One of its primary uses is as an oil-absorbing agent. It helps to reduce the greasy feel of products and controls oiliness on the skin, making it a popular ingredient in products for oily or combination skin, such as mattifying powders and foundations.
  • Texture Enhancer: It improves the texture of cosmetic products by providing a smooth, silky feel upon application. This property is particularly beneficial in powders, creams, and lotions where a lightweight, non-greasy finish is desired.
  • Anti-Caking Agent: In powdered products like eyeshadows, blushes, and face powders, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate acts as an anti-caking agent, preventing the formation of lumps and ensuring an even application.
  • Thickening Agent: It also serves as a thickening agent in emulsions, helping to stabilize the formulation and improve its consistency.
  • Suspension Aid: In formulations with dispersed ingredients, it aids in keeping the ingredients suspended evenly throughout the product, ensuring consistent application.

Potential Hazard Considerations:

Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics, but there are some considerations:

  • Inhalation Risk: As a fine powder, there is a potential risk of inhalation, which can cause respiratory irritation. This is particularly relevant during the manufacturing process or in loose powder products. Proper safety measures should be taken during handling.
  • Skin Irritation: Although rare, some individuals may experience mild skin irritation or sensitivity when using products containing this ingredient, especially if they have sensitive skin. Patch testing is recommended for new formulations.
  • Aluminum Concerns: There is ongoing debate about the safety of aluminum compounds in cosmetics due to concerns about aluminum’s potential link to certain health issues. However, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate is generally considered safe, as the aluminum is chemically bonded within the compound and not readily absorbed by the skin.
  • Environmental Impact: While starch-based ingredients are generally biodegradable, the aluminum content may raise concerns about environmental impact. However, in its cosmetic form, it is used in small quantities and poses minimal risk when disposed of properly.

CAS Number : 9087-61-0

INCI: Aluminium Starch Octenylsuccinate

Composition: Aluminium Starch Octenylsuccinate is derived from starch, which undergoes a chemical modification process known as esterification with octenylsuccinic anhydride. This modification alters the properties of the starch, making it more suitable for cosmetic applications.

Purity Grade: No purity grade applicable

Appearance: It typically appears as a fine, white powder

Solubility: Aluminium Starch Octenylsuccinate is insoluble in water but dispersible in both water and oil phases of cosmetic formulations.

Preservation: Since Aluminium Starch Octenylsuccinate is not prone to microbial growth, it does not require preservation. However, it is often incorporated into formulations alongside other ingredients, which may require preservation.

Storage: Store in a closed container at a dry place at room temperature                

Raw Material Source : The raw material source for Aluminium Starch Octenylsuccinate is natural starch, which is commonly derived from sources such as corn, tapioca, or potato.

Manufacture: It is manufactured through a chemical modification process called esterification, where starch is reacted with octenylsuccinic anhydride under controlled conditions to produce Aluminium Starch Octenylsuccinate.

Animal Testing: Not animal tested

GMO: GMO-free (does not contain plant-derived components)

Vegan: Does not contain animal-derived components

Proposition: NANOGREEN ASOS complies with relevant regulations and guidelines

Warning: Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Use appropriate protective equipment when handling. Keep out of reach of children.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

NanoGreen ASOS is a nano-engineered form of Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate (also known as ASOS). This advanced version features finely milled nanoparticle carriers designed to deliver superior texture enhancement, absorbency, and dispersion in modern personal care and cosmetic products.

Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate is a modified plant-based starch, treated with octenyl succinic anhydride and stabilized with aluminum salt. It’s used as an absorbent, anti-caking agent, and viscosity modulator in formulations like powders, foundations, lotions, and sunscreens.

NanoGreen ASOS delivers all the established benefits—oil absorption, matte finish, anti-caking, and viscosity control—but at the nano-scale, offering:

  • Even finer dispersion
  • Enhanced control over shine and texture
  • Improved performance in ultra-light or transparent formulations
  • Greater compatibility in high-performance and next-gen emulsion systems

NanoGreen ASOS meets growing demands for high-performance, clean-label ingredients in personal care. By leveraging nano-formulation, it provides smoother application, better transparency, and superior blending in both near-invisible and tinted products.

Exceptional mattifying and oil-control properties

Finer, velvety texture without white residue

Enhanced stability and flow in powder systems

Modern aesthetic suitable for primers, sunscreens, and tinted products

Ideal for:

  • Loose and pressed face powders, setting powders
  • Primers and mattifying foundations
  • Lightweight lotions, creams, and sunscreens
  • Dry shampoos, deodorant sticks, and mattifying skincare

CAS Number: 9087-61-0

INCI Name: Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate

Note: NanoGreen ASOS remains registered under the same INCI name. However, disclosures in safety reports or technical documentation may specify it as "nano" or "nano-formulated Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate" for transparency.

Yes. Cosmetic safety reviews, including the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR), have concluded that Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate is safe when used within standard concentration limits (up to ~30% in leave-on formulas).Environmental groups have also rated it low hazard when formulations meet contamination and inhalation safety criteria. NanoGreen ASOS maintains the same safety profile and should be handled with appropriate inhalation precautions during manufacturing.

Use in the powder phase for dry products or during emulsification/mixing for lotions and creams.

NanoGreen ASOS disperses smoothly—high-shear mixing is recommended for uniformity.

Typical usage ranges:

1–10% in emulsions and lotions

Up to 30% in compact powders or dry formulas

NanoGreen ASOS is especially suited for oily and combination skin due to its oil-absorbing and matte-enhancing properties. However, its lightweight nature makes it broadly compatible—even dry or sensitive skin types may find it beneficial when used at low levels
