What is Purple Corn Powder?

Purple Corn is a special variety of corn that can only grow in Peru. As a powder, it is a powerful antioxidant and a colorful ingredient in personal care products.

Organic Purple Corn Powder (maíz morado) is naturally gluten free and non-GMO. It grows naturally in the Andes and was a staple food for the indigenous peoples of South America, such as the Incas and Aztecs.

Advantages

Natural dye

Purple Corn, like blueberries and red cabbage, contains a lot of anthocyanins, the antioxidant that gives Purple Corn its beautiful color. A spoonful of Purple Corn Powder gives your body scrub and bath bombs a magical touch.

Powerful anti-aging

Purple Corn Powder is rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids (including anthocyanin), polyphenols (including ferulic acid and reservatrol) and carotenoids (such as beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin).

How do you use it?

For your skin

Incorporate Purple Corn Powder into DIY personal care products as a substitute for cornmeal or corn flour (it is not a substitute for cornstarch or cornflour), or to add a bright pop of colour to your products.

What's so special about it?

Purple Corn can only grow in the Andes, as soon as you sow it in another area, it loses its purple color. This is because the corn owes its purple color to the harsh conditions of the Andes at an altitude of about three to five kilometers. In order to survive, the corn needs a strong immune system, which makes it produce large amounts of antioxidants. As soon as the corn is placed in a quieter area, the production of antioxidants is no longer a priority and it loses its color. The great thing is that when you use Purple Corn Powder in your care products, you also benefit from the mountains of antioxidants that the corn has produced. This way your body is also protected against harmful external influences.
