TAPIOCA STARCH POLYMETHYLSILSESQUIOXANE

Safety grade: A

This is a hybrid powder made by combining tapioca starch (a natural thickener from cassava root) with a silicone-based ingredient. It creates a lightweight, silky powder that absorbs oil and moisture while feeling smooth on skin.

This ingredient absorbs excess oil and sweat from skin, conditions and softens the skin surface, and controls the thickness and texture of cosmetic formulas to make them easier to apply.

Graded using: COSING.
