  tapioca starch can be purchased in a health food store. i wonder if
  this another instance where one could take regular pearl tapioca and
  grind it down really fine?
  where are you? i have some i only took alittle out of and will not
  use again? i could mail this to you if not too much. shouldn’t cost
  more than a couple of dollars.

  Hi…I saw the thread about using Natrasorb or Tapioca starch in
  lotions…can someone give me some guidelines as to how much? A
  percentage to start with maybe? Thanks…Robyn in AZ

  ..Hi Robyn:
  I use the natrasorb in all of my lotions and creams, even the whipped Shea.
  What I do is start with a little bit and go from there. I usually make abour
  a 20 ounce batch of lotion and I use between 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of
  natrasorb depending on what type of oil that I use. Put it in when you put
  in your preservative and fragrance. If you put it in while the lotion is
  still hot it can cook and you will have a ruined lumpy mess, ask me how I
  know. If you use too much you will end up having liquid powder so put in a
  small amount test and go from there.
  Hope this will help you.
