Whipped Tallow’s Secret Ingredient: Arrowroot

At first glance, organic arrowroot might seem like a simple ingredient—but in our whipped tallow creams, it plays a vital role in creating a luxurious, skin-loving experience. While tallow and rich carrier oils provide deep nourishment, arrowroot powder enhances performance, feel, and stability in ways that elevate the entire formulation.

Let’s take a look at exactly why this unassuming root starch makes such a big difference.

🌿 A Non-Clogging, Breathable Addition

Arrowroot powder is naturally non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores. This makes it a perfect match for our whipped tallow creams, which are rich and deeply moisturizing. Arrowroot allows the product to remain breathable on the skin, making it gentle enough for all skin types—including those prone to breakouts or congestion.

💧 Improved Texture & Oil Binding

When you’re working with multiple carrier oils—like jojoba, sweet almond, or castor oil—it’s essential to keep the formula stable and cohesive. Organic arrowroot acts as a natural binder, helping those oils integrate smoothly into the whipped tallow base. The result? A more uniform, creamy texture that holds up well over time.

📦 Built-In Shipping Stability

One of the lesser-known benefits of arrowroot is its ability to help stabilize emulsions in heat. That matters a lot when you’re shipping a whipped product made from natural fats.

• With arrowroot: The melting point of the cream increases to around 100–105°F (37–40°C)

• Without it: Oils and tallow may begin softening around 85–90°F (29–32°C)

That temperature boost can make the difference between a whipped cream that arrives airy and intact—and one that melts into an oily puddle.

✨ A Softer, More Matte Finish

Tallow is incredibly moisturizing, but it can feel heavy or greasy for some skin types. Arrowroot powder helps soften that effect by absorbing just enough surface oil to reduce shine—without compromising hydration. It leaves behind a silky, almost powder-dry finish that feels smooth and luxurious instead of oily.

A Quiet Hero in a Powerful Formula

Organic arrowroot may not be the flashiest ingredient on the label, but it’s one of the most important for delivering a whipped tallow cream that feels balanced, refined, and shelf-stable. It bridges the gap between nature and functionality—keeping our formula smooth, your skin comfortable, and your order safe in the mail.
