Arrowroot Powder
Arrowroot powder, also known as arrowroot starch, is a soft, fine-textured natural powder derived from the roots of the Maranta arundinacea plant. Valued for its silky, lightweight feel and gentle absorbency, it is widely used in natural skincare and cosmetic formulations.
About Arrowroot Powder
Arrowroot is prized for its ability to absorb excess oil and moisture without drying the skin, leaving a smooth, velvety finish. It helps improve the texture and spreadability of formulations, giving creams, lotions, and masks a refined, non-greasy feel.
In body care, it is a key ingredient in deodorants, body powders, and dry shampoos, where it helps to keep skin feeling soft and comfortable. Its mild, non-irritating nature makes it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, and it is often used as a natural alternative to talc.
Common Uses
- Natural absorbent in deodorants and body powders
