Maisita 9060

Maisita 9060 is indeed a modified corn (zea mays) starch, typically used in cosmetics for its ability to provide a soft, silky texture. It acts as a natural thickener and absorbs excess oil, helping to mattify the skin while offering smooth application. In hair care, it can help with dry texture and enhance volume without the heavy feel of traditional silicones.
