Q: Is Cornstarch good for a Rash around my vaginal?? Thanks
submitted by MIGHTYOD18 - 6 years ago
A: Although Argo can help relieve rashes, hives or poison ivy, it is advised to speak with a physician prior to use due to the sensitivity of the vaginal area. For use, stir 1/4 cup Argo Corn Starch with 3 tablespoons water until a thick paste forms. Apply paste lightly with fingertips.

Great First Experience!
I have been looking for Argo cornstarch for a long time. To me it's the bast and I use it for different things. I looked everywhere for it and in every store I could. Then I saw Target so I called and they had it! The young lady I spoke to was so pleasant and helpful. She guided me through what to do as far as ordering it online then picking it up at the store in my car. I wasn't able at the time to go into the store. I made my order out and then they notified me when to pick it up. I got there and was a little confused as to where to go or park so 8 called and the same nice lady guided me agsin. So nice and patient. alThen a very nice young man named Dakota came with my order. He was so nice and please also Good young man. He will go far in life. I will be frequenting Target from now on. I'm sure it's a good and accommodating store with great employees if the you g lady and Dakota are examples of their employees. Where I came from before moving to Columbus the nearest Target was 21 miles away so I didn't get to appreciate the store. I now live just down the road from this in in Whitehall

Dry shampoo substitute
I use this for a dry shampoo effect. It works very well. It can get a bit messy as the opening is so big, it would be nice if it had more of a shaker lid.

Delivered to me with the seal broken
I just ordered this for pick-up today and was given an OPENED container of it. My seal was broken. Does Target check for things like that when filling orders or did an employee do this purposely? Disgusting and unsafe

Best brand of cornstarch ever hands down love it
I have been eating this for over 18 years and it's gets better with age lol I love it and would highly recommend it it makes excellent chunks and makes my gravy recipe great and I also love the fact that it doesn't change the taste in foods
