Structure® Zea is a waxy maize starch-based rheology modifier designed for reconstitutable powdered products like hair bleaches and dyes, as well as emulsions such as skin creams and hair rinses. Its pre-swelled agglomerated powder form ensures rapid cold-water dispersibility, minimizing lumping and reducing mixing time. In powdered applications, it significantly boosts viscosity when mixed with water or peroxide solutions. For emulsions, Structure® Zea starch enhances stabilization, aesthetics, and rheology, delivering a creamier and richer look and feel. Its ease of use eliminates the need for separate mixing tanks, improving manufacturing efficiency.
