Talc
Talc is a mineral powder primarily composed of hydrated magnesium silicate, recognized for its absorbent and softening properties. It is commonly used in baby products, personal care items, and even some medications, where it serves to reduce moisture and soothe 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.
