Corn Starch

Corn Starch is an excellent ingredient for personal care products such as crafting soaps, cosmetics, and skincare products that impart a silky feel without irritation. Commonly known as a food thickener, its versatility extends to baby powders, bath bombs, body powders, milk baths, and natural cleaners. Cornstarch enhances skin absorption and effectively dries out breakouts, avoiding excessive dryness or irritation.

Benefits of Corn Starch:

• Moisture Absorption: Corn starch excels in absorbing excess oils, sweat, and moisture, reducing chafing and irritation. This makes it ideal for talcum powder, dry shampoos, and body powders.
• Suitable for Sensitive Skin: Its gentle and non-irritating nature makes corn starch appropriate for people with sensitive skin. It soothes and calms irritated skin, reducing inflammation from conditions like eczema and acne.
• Enhances Cosmetic Product Texture: Corn starch contributes to a smooth, silky texture in cosmetics, aiding in even application and enhancing the product’s effectiveness.
• Versatility in Cosmetics: It’s a multipurpose ingredient that can be used in various cosmetic products, benefiting skin types and conditions across the board.
• Shelf Life: Store the starch in a cool, dark, dry place in a tightly-sealed container, ensuring to remove excess air before sealing. Avoid exposure to extreme heat and direct sunlight.
