What is cosmetic talc used for?
Cosmetic talc is a versatile ingredient used in a wide variety of cosmetic products and has many different uses. Talc is good at absorbing moisture and so is used in body powders (also known as talcum powder or baby powder). It is also a good filler, so it is used in face and body powders to fill the tiny nooks and crannies on the skin surface, creating a soft, even feel. Cosmetic talc also functions as a very good base material for colour cosmetics such as eye shadows and powder blushers. These are only a few of the ways in which this highly versatile ingredient is used in cosmetics.
