Non food uses for cornstarch

Cornstarch may be used as a substitute for talcum powder. It does not disperse readily into the air, as talcum does, thus avoiding inhalation of the powder. However, when used dry, it will not spread as smoothly as talcum,. Cornstarch has good anti-itch properties. Mixing one half of a standard supermarket box in a warm bath will relieve itching of the skin caused by allergic reactions, insect bites or other causes. Its anti-itch relief may last for hours.
