Arrowroot Powder is your gluten-free saviour and go-to natural thickener. A starch derived from the arrowroot plant native to South America - it’s a white, odourless powder with a slightly sweet taste. In the kitchen, it's relied on to thicken any sauces, soups, and also puddings, while also being a recurring star in gluten-free recipes thanks to its easy digestibility. This makes it a pantry staple for those with sensitive tummies.
♡ Why we love it: Arrowroot isn’t just your internal ally - it’s your skincare hero too. As it is water soluble, you can very easily dissolve it into your DIY creams and lotions, the dry powder could also be added to your body powders, deodorants, and masks. What it does is absorb excess oil, improve product texture, and enhance the delivery of the active ingredients in your products. A formulator can expect a light, silky finish that mattifies the skin and helps purify pores. A true boon for both inside and out!

Sizes: 75g.

How to use arrowroot powder

Herbal Tea (infusion): Add 1 tsp in 1 cup of boiled water. Cover cup/container and allow to infuse for 5-10 mins. Drink 1 cup up to three times a day.
For a natural deodorant; try this recipe: (2 TBSP coconut oil, 1 TBSP arrowroot powder, 1 TBSP baking soda). Mix well. Let it set until mixture is a solid and then it's ready to use! You can also add one to two drops of your favourite essential oil for fragrance
Arrowroot is a great natural (and safe) alternative for baby powder. Mix one-half cup arrowroot with 1 tsp. chamomile. The chamomile will soothe the skin, and the arrowroot will keep it dry

Arrowroot powder recipe inspiration

Calming Lavender Shower Melts

1 c arrowroot powder or cornstarch

2 T Epsom salts

2 T water plus extra

5 - 7 drops lavender essential oil

Mix together the lavender oil, cornstarch and Epsom salts then add the water. You will need to gradually add extra water to form a thick paste. Once the paste is ready, decant into ice cube trays or molds and freeze until set. As long as you didn’t use too much water, you may remove the melts from the molds and store in an airtight container.

To use, place a melt on the floor of your shower and enjoying the calming lavender aroma. View our other Shower steamer and melts on our blog.
