Arrowroot Powder For Lotion, can’t seem to get the right texture
I’ve been experimenting with arrowroot powder for my body cream to make it less greasy. The cream formula is great but when I add arrowroot powder anywhere from .3-1% the cream ranges from very mildly grainy to very grainy. It doesn’t have a nice powdery feel. I add the arrowroot powder after mixing the water with oil.

I have added up to 2% of arrowroot powder to my heated oil phase before combining with water and it has never turned out grainy. Give it a try!

I also use it at up to 2% with no negative texture. Consider changing suppliers.
You did not list the tool you are incorporating it with.
If you want a finer textured starch…look at rice starch.
