Talc is used for a variety of household and
industrial purposes ranging a food additive, an anti-caking agent,
a
lubricant, and an astringent.
In the case of baby powder, talc is
renowned
for its ability to absorb moisture, reduce friction and prevent
rashes. Talc-based products have been
marketed to women for genital hygiene
purposes as body powder and genital deodorant sprays.
Talc particles may
also enter the female
reproductive system through tampons, sanitary
pads and diaphragms that are dusted with baby powder.
Talc particles
that reach the ovaries
can result in the growth of ovarian cancer cells.
With increasing awareness of the risks
that talc based products
brings to the consumers, some manufacturers have opted to use corn
starch as a substitute for safety reasons.
In terms granularity, rice
starch granule is
considerably finer than the talc powder granule.
