Structure® M3: Your Starch-based Superhero
for mild and natural cleansing

Structure® M3 co-surfactant is an anionic, hydrophobically modified maltodextrin that reduces the irritation potential of surfactant systems, while maintaining cleansing and foaming properties. It is a sustainable, waterless, free-flowing powder with high natural content (NOI =85) and is readily biodegradable (per OECD 301B). It is compatible with both sulfate and sulfate-free systems and is cold-water processable.
Key benefits include:
-
Significant reduction in irritation potential electrolyte levels (up to 15%)
-
High natural origin and biodegradability
-
Compatibility with a wide range of surfactant systems
-
Ease of use and cold water processability
Applications:
Recommended applications include facial cleansers, shampoos, baby washes, body washes, shower mousses, and gels.
