ABSTRACT:
Small granule starch having a mean granule size of less than about 5 microns is substituted for binder excipients in tabletting compositions or the talc or granular starch ingredients of art recognized cosmetic/dusting powder compositions to provide improved compositions. Small granular starch is used as a binder with an orally active ingredient and other optional excipients to provide a tabletting mixture which can be compressed into tablets having excellent hardness and favorable disintegration characteristics. The use of small granule starches as a substitute for art-recognized starch and/or talc carriers in cosmetic/body powders provide compositions with enhanced coverage and a softer feel when applied to the skin.
