Product Information

Arrowroot Powder can act as an excellent substitute for talc or cornstarch in cosmetic formulations. Talcum powder, although a naturally occurring raw material, often suffers from a negative consumer perception due to its links with the contaminant asbestos. Others, on the other hand, may have sensitivities or allergies to cornstarch. In fact, the texture of Arrowroot can be even finer and silkier than cornstarch and also does not have the negative connotations associated with cornstarch as it is typically made from genetically modified (GMO) corn. Arrowroot Powder is, therefore, a great alternative to these commonly used cosmetic ingredients, and is easy to work with due to its almost-identical consistency.

A further benefit of Arrowroot Powder in skincare and personal hygiene is its rejuvenating, softening, and skin-soothing properties. Arrowroot contains many beneficial minerals and vitamins such as zinc, iron, potassium, and Vitamin B6, and is known to provide relief to skin irritations including rashes, acne, skin sores, and rashes. It is suited for all skin types and is particularly gentle on sensitive skin, making it ideal for baby care products or for use in the elderly. Apart from this, Arrowroot Powder can also improve one’s skin texture, condition skin, reduce oiliness, and also bring a natural glow to one’s complexion due to its anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory qualities.

Lastly, the texture-enhancing effects of Arrowroot, including its thickening, softening, and degreasing effects, can increase the sensory benefits offered by beauty products and make them more appealing for customers to use. The all-natural, non-toxic, non-GMO, plant-based sourcing of Arrowroot Powder, coupled with its positive associations with health and well-being, can also be a good fit for vegan and organic skincare and cosmetics brands, making such products easier to market.
