Found a forgotten box of cornstarch in your pantry that’s past its prime? Don’t toss it just yet! While expired cornstarch may not perform as well in recipes, it doesn’t mean it’s useless. In fact, there are several surprising and practical ways to reuse it around the house—no baking required.
Cornstarch is a super versatile powder with absorbent, thickening, and softening properties, making it a secret weapon for cleaning, DIY beauty, crafts, and more.
Here are 6 creative ways to reuse expired cornstarch and give it new life beyond the kitchen:
1. 
Make an All-Natural Dry Shampoo
Out of your regular dry shampoo? Cornstarch to the rescue! Its absorbent texture helps soak up oil from the scalp and refresh your hair between washes.
How to use:
- Sprinkle a small amount of cornstarch onto your roots (use a makeup brush or your fingers).
- Let it sit for a minute or two.
- Comb or brush it out for refreshed, oil-free hair.
Pro tip: Add a bit of cocoa powder for darker hair tones!
2. 
Polish and Clean Silverware
Expired cornstarch can be used to help clean and shine silver jewelry or cutlery. It’s gentle but effective for removing tarnish.
How to use:
- Mix cornstarch with a little water to form a paste.
- Rub onto silver items with a soft cloth.
- Let it dry, then buff off with a clean, dry cloth to reveal a nice shine.
3. 
Soothe Skin with a DIY Body Powder
Cornstarch makes a natural, talc-free body powder, perfect for soothing skin irritation, reducing chafing, and keeping things fresh.
How to use:
- Store in a clean, dry shaker or jar with holes in the lid.
- Sprinkle on skin (especially during hot weather or after shaving).
Optional: Mix with a few drops of essential oils like lavender or chamomile for a calming scent.
4.
