Starwest Botanicals Organic Arrowroot Powder, 1 lb

I've never used it for its intended purpose. I use this for body powder. I used to use cornstarch but cornstarch can support the growth of yeast bacteria, arrowroot does not and it's smoother and more silky against the skin. This is my go-to for mixing natural fragrances or essential oils to create a perfect body powder. On a sweltering 98F in the shade, humid afternoon, step out of the shower, powder up with this, you will feel like soft, cool, dry princess. Unless that doesn't appeal to you, then you'll just feel cool and refreshed. I actually use it in winter too. So, you know, it can make you feel soft and snuggly too. As far as how this works in gourmet food situations, you're just gonna have to find another review. Until I start using it in food preparation. Which I may actually start doing soon, since it's so good using it this way. Oh, I did once use this as a cornstarch substitution when trying to make non-dairy chocolate pudding. It worked just fine but I have nothing to compare it to, so maybe a moot point.

I purchased it strictly to mix with my homemade deodorant, which I make myself because I am literally allergic to ALL of the store deodorants. I was going to try to a natural brand, but I read some reviews about allergic reactions to them, too, so I don't even to risk it. I haven't had any adverse reactions to this product. It does seem to make my mixture (coconut and lavender oil) last longer (stay dry longer), but I still have to reapply constantly. It doesn't compare to the 24-48 hour chemical-laced products at the store. It does work though, and I'd rather reapply than risk my health. I think this product in particular is a great product for the purpose I have for it, and it should honestly last a lifetime, considering my limited usage...I'm going to look into what else I can do with it. :-)

First time we have ever purchased arrowroot, but it was recommended for use as a thickener by our physician in place of flour. This is a pure white, very fine certified organic product that has worked great in the dishes we have tried so far. I am not sure what the shelf life is, but we have kept in air tight containers in a dark, cool area. May try to place a little in the freezer if we still have some in a month or so just to make sure it remains good, as one pound is more than one would think when it comes to a fine powdery spice. We highly recommend this spice and the vendor we purchased it from, as so far, everything has been wonderful.

Starwest Botanicals Organic Arrowroot Powder is a high-quality product that lives up to its promises. Whether you're gluten-free, paleo, or simply looking to expand your culinary horizons, this arrowroot powder is worth trying. It delivers on texture, taste, and versatility, making it a valuable addition to any kitchen pantry

I bought this to use as dry shampoo and it is amazing! Works as well as any other dry shampoo and gives my hair a ton of volume. I’m a brunette, so I mix it with cacao powder so it doesn’t make my hair look white.
