ARROWROOT POWDER

A Little Powder, a Lot of Practicality

Arrowroot is a fine starch traditionally obtained from tropical plants. You may recognize it from the kitchen, where it's often used as a thickener.

Why We Chose It

In body care, it can help reduce an overly oily feel and create a softer, more powdery finish. It's a simple way to fine-tune texture.

Good to Know

Food-grade arrowroot and cosmetic arrowroot have the same familiar plant-starch roots, but each finished product has its own intended use.

Fun Fact

Even the origin of the name 'arrowroot' is a mystery: historical explanations link it either to the pointed shape of the roots or old stories about using the plant on arrow wounds. The name has competing origin stories, not a settled one.
