Cornsilk Powder

Cornsilk Powder (Zea mays) is a smooth, lightweight herbal ingredient commonly used in natural skincare, cosmetic powders and handcrafted soap. Sourced from Kashmir, this fine powder carries the soft, silky qualities that cornsilk is known for, making it ideal for recipes that focus on comfort, gentle texture and soothing care.

Traditionally, cornsilk has been used for its calming touch on the skin. In cosmetics, it is valued for its ability to help reduce surface inflammation and leave the skin feeling smoother and more refined. Its naturally silky consistency makes it an excellent addition to body powders, where it enhances glide and creates a pleasantly soft finish.

In facial mask formulations, cornsilk helps provide a gentle, soothing experience. It contributes to skin softening, making masks feel more luxurious while offering mild support for irritated or inflamed skin. Its subtle texture blends well with clays, herbal powders and liquid infusions.

Cornsilk also performs well in powdered cosmetic recipes, including loose face powders and finishing powders. It improves the overall feel of the product, making it smoother, more blendable and more comfortable on the skin.

For soap makers, cornsilk offers two main benefits. First, it can serve as a natural brown colorant, giving bars a soft, earthy tone. Second, it adds a touch of mild exfoliation, creating a bar that feels gentle while still helping with light polishing of the skin.

Easy to incorporate and versatile in use, this Kashmiri cornsilk powder is a helpful addition to any natural skincare or handcrafted cosmetic collection, especially for those looking to create soothing, silky and skin-friendly products.
