Information

Tapioca starch is a fine, powdery substance derived from the root of the cassava plant. In skincare, it is used for its absorbent, mattifying, and soothing properties. Tapioca starch is often included in formulations to improve the texture of products and provide a smooth, soft feel on the skin.

Where does it come from?

Tapioca starch is obtained from the cassava plant, which is native to South America but is now widely cultivated in tropical regions around the world, including Africa and Asia. The starch is extracted from the cassava root through a process of washing, pulping, and drying, resulting in a pure, white powder that is versatile for various uses, including in skincare.
