Organic arrowroot is utilized for skincare formulas both as an absorbent and to create a silky texture to oil based products. Arrowroot is different than Tapioca Starch in its origin but is often sold under the same name. Arrowroot is derived from the dried roots of the arrowroot plant (either East Indian Arrowroot Curcuma Angustifolia or West Indian Arrowroot Maranta Arudinacea), whereas tapioca starch is derived from cassava root.
Organic arrowroot is high in natural vitamins and minerals such as B6, zinc, and potassium. This makes it useful for skin healing products, such as wound salves and treatments. This also makes it an excellent ingredient when making natural diaper rash creams.
Adding our wholesale arrowroot powder to your oil-based products helps to lessen the oily effect on the skin, and gives your products a nice, silky texture. You can add anywhere from 1-30%, depending on what you want the final texture to be. Organic arrowroot also acts as a binder and whitener for hair and skincare formulations.
If you’re making natural deodorants, arrowroot powder is the go-to ingredient for helping create a smooth texture and have a drying effect on the skin. Arrowroot helps to pull moisture away from the skin and helps your product to have a soft glide when applied. Organic arrowroot also does not cause the burning effect that sodium bicarbonate can have on some individuals. We also carry magnesium hydroxide powder that works in combination with arrowroot powder in natural deodorants. The suggested levels for natural deodorants are 20-30%.
Since arrowroot powder is full of minerals and helps to decrease sebum on the skin it makes an excellent ingredient for face, body and foot powders. Organic Arrowroot is a healthier and natural alternative to Talcum powder. You can use Organic arrowroot powder to create tinted facial powders, and if you incorporate some Zinc you will give the powder a natural sun protection quality.
You can also incorporate organic arrowroot powder into hair masks, shampoo bars, and conditioner bars. The organic arrowroot works wonderfully on oily scalps to help pull out sebum.
