In creams and lotions, it is reputed to produce a brightening, mattifying, and skin-soothing quality that may be particularly useful in products designed for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin types. Arrowroot Powder provides a light, soft, silky finish to the skin that can also provide a cooling, drying, and freshening sensation.
