Maltodextrins + corn syrup solids
MALTRIN^® maltodextrins are multifunctional ingredients for use in shaving creams and gels. They help build body without adding a lot of viscosity, help with foam stability and also contribute humectant properties. MALTRIN^® maltodextrins do not have to be heated and are mild and nonirritating for use in sensitive skin formulas.

Starches
Mildness is key in a shaving cream or gel because the act of shaving is an irritating process. PURE-GEL^®, INSCOSITY^® and Zeina^® modified starches provide mildness to the formulation and leave the skin feeling silky and smooth. PURE-GEL^® and INSCOSITY^® products are thickeners and stabilize the viscosity against acid, heat and shear. Zeina^® modified starch contributes film properties to the formula without heavy thickness. All three starches help with foam stability.
