Description

Arrowroot Powder, also known as Arrowroot Starch, is a fine, lightweight powder derived from the roots of the Maranta arundinacea plant.

Naturally GMO-free, arrowroot offers a clean and gentle alternative to cornstarch, which is often genetically modified. Rich in starches, proteins, and trace minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, and iron, arrowroot is a versatile ingredient in natural skincare, haircare, and cosmetic formulations.

Unlike cornstarch, arrowroot is finer, more absorbent, and non-irritating, making it especially suitable for sensitive skin and beauty applications.

How It’s Made

The roots of the arrowroot plant are carefully washed and peeled to remove any bitter compounds. They are then crushed into a milky liquid, which is strained and left to settle. The pure starch is collected, dried, and ground into a silky, white powder.

  • INCI: Maranta Arundinacea Root

  • Country of Origin: Thailand

  • Appearance: Fine, white powder

  • Recommended Usage Rate: 1–100%

  •  Improves Texture – Enhances slip in powdered cosmetics and helps thicken emulsions, deodorants, and hair dye formulations.
  • Soothes Skin – Gentle on sensitive skin, with mild anti-irritant properties, making it suitable for baby care and athlete’s foot powders.
