Talc is a naturally occurring mineral that is used on its own as talcum powder and as an ingredient in a range of beauty & personal care products.

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.
