The Wonderful Journey of Rice Starch in Skincare

In the long history of Asian culture, rice holds a significant position. It is not only an indispensable staple on our dining tables but also a hidden gem in the skincare realm. From ancient times till now, the close connection between rice and beauty tells numerous astonishing stories.

Looking back in history, the care of rice for the skin has long been discovered by people. The vitamins and amino acids it contains have become an important support for ancient beauty. Back then, people ingeniously ground rice into powder or paste to meticulously create masks and exfoliants. These unique homemade skincare products were designed to clean the skin, gently remove dead skin cells, and keep the skin smooth and delicate.

It is worth mentioning that the preserved rice water was also highly cherished. Ancient people firmly believed that it was rich in vitamins and minerals and regarded it as an invaluable treasure for skincare. They skillfully used rice water as a facial cleanser or softener to infuse moisture and bring soothing care to the skin.

As time went by and arrived in modern times, rice has shone brightly on the stage of cosmetic raw materials. It has become a core ingredient in numerous cleansing products, masks, lotions, and exfoliants. The modern manufacturing process of rice starch involves sophisticated techniques and equipment. Firstly, high-quality rice is selected and undergoes thorough cleaning to remove impurities. Then, through mechanical grinding and chemical treatment, the starch is extracted and purified. Specialized methods like enzymatic hydrolysis and spray drying are employed to obtain rice starch with specific properties and particle sizes, tailored to meet the requirements of various skincare applications.

The advantages of this modern manufacturing process are remarkable. It ensures a higher purity and quality of the rice starch, minimizing the presence of impurities and contaminants. This purity leads to better performance and safety in skincare products. The controlled extraction and processing methods also allow for precise tailoring of the starch’s properties, such as its particle size and absorption capacity, to optimize its effectiveness in different formulations. Moreover, the advanced manufacturing techniques enhance the scalability and reproducibility of the production, ensuring a consistent supply of high-quality rice starch for the cosmetics industry.

From the exploration in ancient traditions to the innovations in modern technology, rice starch carries the wisdom of ancient beauty and integrates into the cutting-edge mysteries of contemporary skincare. This is not merely a simple continuation but a profound evolution.

When we delve deeply into the magical effects of rice starch in skincare, we find that it has numerous remarkable advantages.

Let’s start with its outstanding oil absorption ability. In the world of the skin, excessive oil secretion is often a troublesome problem, especially in areas like the T-zone that tend to produce more oil. Rice starch is like a reliable assistant that can effectively absorb excess sebum, helping the skin stay fresh and comfortable and reducing embarrassing oiliness. This characteristic makes it an ideal oil-control agent.

Then, let’s look at its excellent performance in improving the texture of products. Rice starch can not only increase the stability of emulsification but also greatly enhance the touch of the product. Imagine when using skincare products containing rice starch, the skin feels as if it is being gently caressed by soft velvet, and that smooth feeling is intoxicating. In contrast, talcum powder contains asbestos, and long-term contact or inhalation may increase the risk of malignancies such as ovarian cancer and lung cancer. However, DELI FOODS rice starch, as a natural substitute for talcum powder, not only shows excellent oil absorption ability but also endows the product with higher safety and a more comfortable usage experience. Its addition undoubtedly enhances the overall quality of the product, making it more reassuring for users.

In addition, DELI FOODS rice starch has outstanding repair capabilities for the skin barrier of damaged skin. There was such a study abroad: Atopic dermatitis patients were asked to soak twice a day for 15 minutes each time using a 10g/l mixture of rice starch and water. Surprisingly, just on the second day after soaking, the transepidermal water loss of the skin improved significantly. This research result fully demonstrates the powerful effect of DELI FOODS rice starch in repairing the skin barrier.

Next, let’s take a look at some recommended formulas. In some formulas, DELI FOODS rice starch, as a natural substitute for talcum powder, replaces a part of the talcum powder. Without affecting the oil absorption ability and smooth skin feel of the product, it makes the overall formula more gentle and safe. In other formulas, DELI FOODS rice starch undergoes gelatinization at 80°C and acts as a natural thickener to increase the viscosity of the formula and plays roles in oil control, moisture retention, and sustained release of functional ingredients. In yet other formulas, DELI FOODS rice starch further improves the overall skin feel of the cream and has both oil control and moisture retention effects.

DELI FOODS rice starch, with its multiple significant effects such as oil control, improving emulsification stability and skin feel, and repairing damaged skin barriers, stands out in the vast world of skincare and becomes one of the favored and cherished ingredients. Its existence undoubtedly brings more thoughtful care and beautiful hopes to our skin.
