After Bathing Body Talc (Talcum Powder)

Ah, talcum powder, the wonderful product with so many uses! Whether you have been using talcum powder to soothe your own skin for years or if it’s something as a parent you never leave the house without, there’s no denying that medicated talcum powder is a beauty basic staple that has a place in every home. The use of talcum powder dates back to the 1890’s when it was first used for baby care. It is now used in many cosmetic products around the world and has a number of benefits. It works well as a body powder because it is very good at absorbing moisture. In face powders it gently fills tiny spaces on the skin surface, helping to create a soft, even feel. It is also a very good base material for colour cosmetics like eye shadow and blusher. There are many grades of talc, categorised according to levels of purity. At the top of this purity scale is cosmetic grade talc, which meets the highest levels of quality and safety. Cosmetic grade talc is prepared by milling talc from mines that have been specifically selected for the high quality and purity of the talc seams. We use cosmetic grade talc in some of our beauty and personal care products such as skin care products and deodorants.
