Lubricants (Talc)
Talc is a white filler primarily consisting of natural magnesium silicate. The numerous advantages of this inert mineral include high oil and grease absorption (hydrophobic).
Due to the greasy feel, talc has been traditionally used as lubricant in cosmetic creams and make up. The fragrance retention capacity of talc makes it also ideal for deodorant sticks and lotions.
