Description

Arrowroot powder is a natural starch derived from the rhizomes (underground stems) of the arrowroot plant (Maranta arundinacea), a tropical herb native to the Caribbean, South America, and parts of Southeast Asia. The starch is extracted by grinding the rhizomes, washing out the starch, and then drying it into a fine, white powder. It is known for its mildness, digestibility, and versatility in various applications, including in food, cosmetics, and traditional medicine.

Arrowroot powder is gluten-free and hypoallergenic, which makes it a popular choice for individuals with dietary restrictions or those looking for natural alternatives to synthetic ingredients.

Arrowroot powder is often used in skincare products for its gentle, soothing properties. It helps calm irritated, inflamed, or sensitive skin, making it ideal for people with eczema, rashes, or other skin conditions. It is naturally anti-inflammatory, which helps to reduce redness and swelling in the skin.

It is also beneficial in products aimed at treating diaper rash, sunburns, or minor cuts and bruises. When applied topically, arrowroot powder acts as a calming agent, improving the healing process.
