About
Common millet seed flour — a gentle gluten-free cereal powder used as an absorbent and mild conditioner. Food-grade safety.
Panicum miliaceum seed flour is milled from common proso millet, a gluten-free cereal. It functions as an absorbent, bulking, and mild skin-conditioning agent, with naturally occurring silicon, minerals, and amino acids that have been marketed for hair and skin. The raw material is food-grade with no reported dermal toxicity, no GHS hazard classification, and is listed in EU CosIng without restriction. As a gluten-free grain it is friendlier than wheat/barley for gluten-sensitive populations.
