Corn Powder Mineral Make Ingredient. Cornstarch provides a silky feel to mineral makeup, is very translucent, and has good absorbency. For this reason, it has been added to many mineral makeup veils, and mixed with other minerals for cohesion in mineral based make-ups.
Since cornstarch does not have good adhesion properties on the skin and doesn’t protect you from UV rays, it should be mixed with Kaolin Clay for adhesion and zinc oxide or titanium oxide for UV protection.
This is the main ingredient used in those costly mineral veils and setting powders you purchase.
