Explanation:
Cornstarch is widely used in cooking and baking.
It’s a pure starch powder that is extracted from corn kernels by removing all of their outer bran and germ, leaving behind the starch-rich endosperm.
In the kitchen, it has a range of uses. When starch is heated, it’s very good at absorbing water. So it’s most often used as a thickener for stews, soups and gravies. It is also used for a lot of other things-
1. Skin relief
Cornstarch may be a convenient and cost-effective remedy for skin irritation, though little research supports its efficacy for this use. All the same, many people use it to soothe sunburns and reduce skin itchiness.
2. Deodorant
If you’re out of deodorant or want a DIY alternative, try cornstarch.
3. Dry shampoo
You can use cornstarch as a natural dry shampoo.
4. Matte nail polish
To create a matte nail polish, put a few drops of nail polish on a plate and sprinkle a small amount of cornstarch on top. Start slowly, adding more as needed.
5. Relaxing milk bath
Milk baths have historically been used to soothe skin while creating a luxurious bathing experience. Interestingly, one of the secret ingredients in many milk baths is cornstarch.
