Natrasorb

NatraSorb Bath starts its life as tapioca starch, which comes from the root of the cassava plant. What makes it special is the way it’s been modified during processing. The starch granules are treated so that tiny microscopic pockets form inside them. These pockets act like little storage containers for oils, allowing the starch to absorb a surprisingly high amount (up to around 16% of its weight) while still looking and feeling like a dry, free-flowing powder.

When you drop it into warm water, those starch granules instantly dissolve. As they break apart, they release the oils they’ve been holding and disperse them evenly throughout the bath. That’s the real magic - instead of oil slicks floating on the surface, the water feels soft and evenly scented. It’s the same reason formulators use it in bath bombs, salts, and milk baths to give that spa-like feel without leaving a greasy residue.

• First, mix your oils (fragrance, essential oils, or bath oils) into the NatraSorb until it looks like a dry crumbly powder.
• Then add this mix into your salts or bath bomb blend.
• Use sparingly - even a small amount goes a long way (a few percent of your total recipe is usually enough).
  
  

NatraSorb is derived from tapioca, a plant-based, renewable resource. It’s biodegradable and breaks down naturally without harming waterways. Unlike synthetic dispersing agents, it does its job and leaves nothing behind.

• NatraSorb is non-toxic and considered safe for use in skin care and bath products.
• Avoid breathing in the fine powder, like with any starch or flour, it can be irritating if inhaled.
• Keep it dry and sealed as moisture will make it clump and spoil its effectiveness.
• Safe to handle with bare hands, but a dust mask is a good idea if you’re working with larger amounts.

“It’s just tapioca starch from the pantry.”
Not quite - while the INCI name is tapioca starch, NatraSorb has been modified specifically for cosmetic and bath use. Regular starch won’t absorb oils the same way.

“It leaves a film in the bath.”
Wrong - NatraSorb dissolves cleanly in water, releasing oils evenly without residue.

“You need heaps of it.”
Nope - a little goes a long way. Overloading your recipe won’t make it work better, it’ll just waste your stash.
