Amylopectin is a naturally occurring, water-insoluble branched starch used in skincare products to regulate thickness or viscosity. It can create a hydrating gel-like structure to encapsulate active ingredients in moisturizers, lotions, and masks for gradual release. It is also found in the Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial Mask, which is a chemical exfoliate mask that uses a combination of AHA 25% and BHA 2% to resurface the skin.

Amylopectin is a type of carbohydrate found in plants, particularly in starchy foods like potatoes, rice, and grains.
