What is Talc?

Talc, also known as talcum, is a naturally occurring mineral composed of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. It is used in numerous applications for its soft texture, lamellarity, and chemical inertness. Unlike corundum and kaolin, which are used primarily in ceramics and refractory applications, talc is favored in baby talc, body talc, and cosmetics due to its moisture-absorbing and smoothening properties.

Talc is also often contrasted with talc-free powder alternatives, as public scrutiny around talc baby powder and potential links to mesothelioma and other health issues has risen significantly. Companies are increasingly exploring talc-free or liquid talc products, such as liquid talc Tesco and liquid talc Asda, to appeal to health-conscious consumers.
