Talcum powder

Talcum powder is a fine powder produced by grinding talc, a mineral consisting mainly of magnesium, silica, and hydrogen.

Talcum powder is often used to absorb excess moisture on the skin and helps reduce friction and irritation, especially in areas where the skin may chafe.

Talcum powder is commonly used in shoes to absorb moisture and reduce unpleasant odors. It can help prevent sweaty feet and keep shoes fresh.

Talcum powder can be used to treat surfaces and reduce friction. For example, it can be used to make a sticky drawer slide more smoothly or to make a poorly fitting door easier to open.
