Talc
Talc is a mineral powder primarily composed of hydrated magnesium silicate, recognised for its absorbent and softening properties. It is commonly used in products for infants, personal care items, and even certain medications, where talc aids in reducing moisture and soothing skin irritations. However, its use is controversial, particularly due to concerns about its purity and potential links between certain asbestos-contaminated talcs and health issues, such as cancers.
