Profile
Corn starch complements potato starch perfectly – that's natural cosmetics craftsmanship.
Potato starch is coarse, corn starch is fine – together they form the ideal powder system in our Deocreme Sensitiv. The blend absorbs moisture evenly and gives the deodorant a soft, velvety texture – without aluminium, without synthetic thickeners.
Natural powder from corn kernels
Corn starch is obtained by milling and washing it out of the endosperm of corn kernels. It is finer-grained than potato starch and especially well suited to gentle body lotions, deodorant creams and baby powder. Hypoallergenic, gluten-free, vegan.
