Cornstarch itself does not melt ice; rather, it is often used as a thickening agent in recipes. However, some ice-melting products contain cornstarch as an additive to help with the application of the melting agent, ensuring it adheres better to surfaces. The actual melting of ice is primarily due to the presence of chemicals like sodium chloride (salt) or calcium chloride, which lower the freezing point of water.
