INCI Name

Maranta Arundinacea Root Extract

Product Description

Arrowroot Starch (Maranta Arundinacea Root Extract) is a versatile botanical ingredient derived from the roots of the arrowroot plant. This fine, powdery substance is rich in essential starch components, particularly amylose, making it an excellent thickening agent in both cosmetic and food formulations. Additionally, it boasts a wealth of nutrients, including various minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, and zinc, contributing to its skin-soothing properties. Gluten-free and non-irradiated, Arrowroot Starch's carefully controlled particle size ensures a smooth texture, making it ideal for use in a range of applications, from skincare to body powders.
