Tapioca (Manihot esculenta) Starch

A plant-derived powder extracted from the root of the cassava plant, native to South America. Widely used in both skincare and haircare, tapioca starch helps absorb excess oil without drying out the hair or scalp. It creates a soft, velvety feel and adds a lightweight, matte finish—making it especially popular in dry shampoos and volumising products. In styling formulas, it enhances texture and grip without heaviness, offering natural lift and improved manageability.
