Versatile Cornstarch for Bath, Body & Crafting
Maize Starch, also known as Cornstarch, is a lightweight, fine white powder that’s widely used in bath, body, and cosmetic products. It provides a silky texture, helps absorb moisture, and improves the skin feel of powders, masks, and bath bombs. Affordable and easy to work with, it’s a must-have for crafters, DIYers, and formulators alike.
Maize Starch is often used as a natural thickener or filler. In dry formulations, it gives a soft, velvety finish without clogging pores. It’s also popular in baby products, dry shampoo powders, body dusting powders, and deodorant sticks. Because it absorbs oils and moisture, it’s especially useful in formulations aimed at oily or sensitive skin types.
