Talcum powder is the refined, powdery form of the softest mineral on earth, whether you call it talcum powder or baby powder, you’ve likely found its silky white softness to be a baby care essential. Talc is an “inert” ingredient, meaning it does not generate a chemical reaction when ingested or used on the skin. People have taken advantage of its natural smoothness, safety, and adsorbent properties since ancient Egyptian times.
Where does talc come from? Talc comes from rock deposits found all over the planet and is mined like many other valuable minerals, but only the highest-grade talc, meeting our purity specifications, is used for talcum powder.
How is talcum powder made? Once it is taken from the earth, talc a mineral that consists of the elements magnesium, silicon, and oxygen, is partially crushed, sorted and assigned a grade. The talc ore that meets cosmetic grade standards is then milled to a powder, tested for particle size and confirmed for purity. The testing methodology used to detect asbestos in cosmetic grade talcum powder was developed by the Personal Care Products Council, formerly known as the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CTFA), Inc., in 1976 and is still used and accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
