"Priceless"
COMMENTS: I would not dream of making shea body butter without this product as I use 70% shea butter and one would feel like the greased pig at the contest. LOL I use two tablespoons per 14 oz. of shea butter and it takes away the greasiness. Awesome product; a small amount makes a huge difference. I also use a small amount in my natural deodorant.
COMMENTS: I use this for body powder, and it is my secret ingredient in my body butters & lotion bars. Just a little bit added to them makes the butters/lotion bars silky smooth and never greasy. Makes a world of difference int he final product !!
COMMENTS: I use this in deodorant, great product at a wonderful price!

"A must have to reduce greasy feeling in lotion!"
COMMENTS: This really helps to cut the greasy texture in lotions and butters, I use this with dimethicone and cyclomethicone and everyone loves it! Adding this to bath bombs gives them a great powdery feeling in the bath tub! I sub part of my cornstarch with tapioca starch, or fullers earth clay and the results are excellent! The quality of all crafters choice products, is fantastic and I have yet to be disappointed!
COMMENTS: I use just a little in my whipped body butters so they don't have that oily feel. Great, inexpensive way to lose the oily feel.

"Tapioca Starch"
COMMENTS: so far - so good! really happy to have this on hand for fizzies and butters - absorbs extra butters/oils when I use too much - fixes the oily feeling and makes products powdery soft w/ a nice glide, helps keep bath bombs dry and together/harden, helps hold fo/eo fragrance or so I've read and it seems to be so - every product has retained the fragrance so far. Have had no issues w/ it. Comes in a great resealable bag that's easy to store, open and use. Will be ordering this again in greater volume soon, I'm sure.

"Tapioca Starch Pure"
COMMENTS: Hi - I just made body cream with this tapioca starch for the very first time. I read other reviews that mentioned clumping problems. I mixed this starch as I would corn starch when cooking, mixing it first with some of the salt water solution. Then, I added it to the oils and started blending slowly as I added my salt water solution. It worked BEAUTIFULLY. Creamy, silky, absolutely no clumping.
I wasn't sure just how much to use. I added 3% of my total ingredients weight. Made a difference for sure in the oiliness at the end. However, I think next time I might bump it to 5%
I was VERY HAPPY with the result. A natural ingredient that works beautifully and inexpensive.

"I always use this in lotions, creams, and lip balm"
COMMENTS: I use this to give my products a smooth, non-greasy consistency. I love it in lotion bars and lip balms more than anything else. my lip balms seem to melt and disperse too quickly but this stuff makes them apply perfectly.
