Talcum Powder — Cosmetic Grade (Asbestos-Free)

Our Talcum Powder is a premium cosmetic grade magnesium silicate powder, certified asbestos-free and sterilised by Ethylene Oxide Treatment (EOT) — making it suitable for cosmetic and personal care formulation where purity and safety are essential.

Talc is one of the softest minerals on Earth and has been used for centuries as a base ingredient in body powders, cosmetics and personal care products. Our high-whiteness premium grade has a fine, silky particle size (200 mesh, 98% min) that absorbs moisture, reduces friction and gives a smooth finish to formulations.
