Review: but anything seemed better than talcum at that point - I hope I get enough space to say it all :-). The day I read that talcum had been shown related in studies to ovarian cancer, I threw out all my baby powder. I went to google for "alternatives to talcum". This was one among relatively many. I chose arrowroot over garbanzo bean powder, rice powder, cornstarch, etc, because it said it was herbal, as far as the originating plant goes. It was an under-educated guess, but anything seemed better than talcum at that point. But let me tell you, I have never looked back. I put this on my skin, and I love it. I'm going to try to say this delicately, and hope that persons who are a bit overweight will understand: since I am heavy, there are spots where skin meets skin on me, and by the end of the day, or even earlier, even WITH talcum, I can end up with heat-rash type skin eruptions, pain, moisture, and odor. With arrowroot powder, 2 or 3 days have passed with none of the above problems. And I mean 2 or 3 days between applications. Since buying and using and becoming permanently loyal to this wonderful stuff, I have read that rice, garbanzos, cornstarch, etc are all effective powders, but they contain starches, which feed bacteria, which is why skin eruptions, heat, pain, moisture, and odor can still occur when using them; bacteria that dwell in warm spots feed on the starch (glucose). After this smashing success finding an alternative to an unhealthy thing that I thought was gentle and good (we put it on BABIES for chrissakes...), I am moving on to making my own deodorant. Believe me, if anyone had told me that I would be giving up anti-perspirant in this lifetime, I would have laughed out loud. Now, I'm reading links between commercial deodorants/antiperspirants and breast cancer, and I think those findings would have made some kind of sense even before my arrowroot experience. But now, having learned firsthand something I would not have guessed prior to trying it, these links between illness and synthetic chemicals seem like a massive DUH. Using a natural product and getting BETTER results was not what I expected. My goal was to find a product which was necessarily inferior, but natural; something I could live with as I gave up the reliable results of my conventional products. I now believe I'm onto many natural things, "alternative" solutions, that I might just LIVE with :-), and live better than I would had I remained loyal to stuff that is dangerous to my biological parts :-). Review: Great for diy lotion! - I bought this in 2018 and just ran out because I really only used it sparingly. Now that I've been more natural, healthy foods again, I wanted to buy again. I have bought other products from this company and have been happy about it. I have recently found out you can put arrowroot powder in your diy lotion to make it not so sticky and it has helped with that since I use a lot of oil base in my lotion. I have also used it for thickening sauces and even powder for my undereye and face to keep it from getting too oily. There are so many used for arrowroot and am glad it's at a good price for a pound! I'm hoping the quality stays the same since 2018. ## Features - ARROWROOT TAPIOCA POWDER: This bag contains Manihot esculenta, the botanical name for arrowroot (tapioca) powder.

Is safe to use underarms?** A: Absolutely! Cold-pressed organic coconut oil and some baking soda makes a great deodorant, but adding arrowroot will make it even more solid to put into an old empty deodorant stick. Plus you can add an essential oil of choice, if you want. **Q: I am looking for powder that's as fine/small as possible. Are these the smallest flour? THank you !** A: Yes. This is the texture of face powder, talcum powder, baby powder. **Q: Is organic arrowroot powder the same as organic tapioca starch?** A: "Manihot Esculenta" (which is on the package label) is commonly called tapioca, cassava, manioc, or yuca. "Maranta arundinacea" is arrowroot. These are NOT the same plants. So basically, this package is tapioca, not arrowroot. **Q: The label says Manihot esculenta, which is cassava, aka tapioca. Is this tapioca versus Maranta arundinacea (arrowroot)?** A: Google the two, manihot esculenta and maranta arundinacea, and you will find that 'manihot' isn't true arrowroot like 'maranta' is. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ but anything seemed better than talcum at that point *by L***E on April 9, 2015* I hope I get enough space to say it all :-).

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Starwest Botanicals Arrowroot Tapioca Powder Organic - Gluten Free Thickener for Cooking & Baking, Root Starch, Certified Kosher, Non-GMO - Bulk 1 lb Bag - Raw Shea Butter - 100% Pure African Unrefined Shea Butter for Hair | Skin Moisturizer for Face and Body | Use for Soap Base, DIY Whipped Lotion, Lip Balm - 8 oz Block - Raw Kokum Butter Unrefined - Body Butter Bar for Soap Making and DIY Skin and Hair Care Products - Pure, Unscented Moisturizer for Lotion Base - 8 oz Block --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/794928633-arrowroot-tapioca-powder-organic-gluten-free-thickener-for-cooking-baking](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/794928633-arrowroot-tapioca-powder-organic-gluten-free-thickener-for-cooking-baking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
