Arrowroot Powder


Arrowroot powder is a mattifying substance with a texture that's pleasant to the touch. This natural ingredient leaves the skin feeling soft and looking healthy.



What is arrowroot powder?


Arrowroot is a tropical plant. To obtain the powder, the starch of the plant is extracted from the tubers. This powder is known for its absorbent properties and, similar to cornstarch, for its thickening abilities.
