Tapioca starch is an ideal natural replacement for mineral talc (talcum). It is used in a wide range of personal care formulations, from aerosols and micellar waters to powder and creamy consistencies. It immediately dissolves in lukewarm water without leaving a film on the skin surface while reducing greasiness. Tapioca starch is also a good source of resistant starch, which is a type of starch that is not digested in the small intestine. This can help to promote gut health and may also help to reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
