I confirm the description of the product, it's absorbent of moisture and sebum , without clumping , correctly measured or staining , on the contrary I don't find my clothes stained after perspiration . I like it for producing cream deodorant and I use it with confidence being certified.

Jeg bruger det som drøjemiddel i pulverblandinger med farvepigment. Men jeg har opdaget, og det også giver en færdig vandig blanding en virkelig lækker silkeblød fornemmelse.

I have oily hair and sensitive scalp, I can’t use dry shampoos on large areas! The best alternative found is a mixture of cornstarch powder with a little Moroccan rhassoul (to soften the white side of the cornstarch). It helps!

I gave two stars because there is no mention of whether or not it is gluten free - important for some people, as the starch can be obtained from a contaminated line. I would like to know when restocking if it is safe, so that I can make bath balls, one of your recipes. Thanks.
