Solanum tuberosum starch is the polysaccharide-rich starch obtained from the fruit of Solanum tuberosum, the potato. The potato is a plant from the Solanaceae family that is found all over the world.

Solanum tuberosum starch is used in cosmetic formulations. The extract acts as a binding agent (ensures the cohesion of powdery and powdery products), swelling agent (reduces the density of cosmetic products by swelling) and viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products).
