Tapioca Starch (Tapoica Flour)
Tapioca Starch, derived from the cassava root, is a versatile, gluten-free ingredient widely used in personal care formulations. This white, bland-flavored powder serves as an effective thickening and viscosity-enhancing agent, making it ideal for creams, lotions, and various cosmetic applications. In face powders, it provides a smooth, silky, and velvety feel, enhancing the overall texture. Additionally, Tapioca Starch can replace talc in formulations, offering a natural alternative. Its ability to mitigate the heavy, greasy feel of oils, esters, and waxes further broadens its applicability in product development.
