Maruthua – Arrow Root Powder

According to Ayurveda, the Arrowroot plant has been traditionally recognized for its healing properties in treating wounds and detoxifying the body. Arrowroot powder is also well-known for its ability to absorb excess oil and sebum on the skin, as well as for promoting a clear and radiant complexion. To create the powder, the plant’s stem is carefully washed, drained, and stripped to obtain a fresh and juicy pulp. This milky white liquid is then meticulously strained to separate the starch from other plant components. The settled starch at the bottom is sun-dried over several days until it transforms into a fine, sheer white powder resembling flour. At Forest Essentials, we utilize the lightweight and natural Arrowroot powder in our Ayurvedic skincare products. When applied to the skin, it is deeply absorbent, invigorating, and contributes to a silky-smooth and clarified complexion.
