Pure Talc Powder Quart

If youre trying to find REAL talcum powder to use as a body powder after a shower or whatever, THIS IS IT. Plus, it has absolutely no scent. In my experience, corn starch is NOT as good as talcum powder for keeping the body parts dry. Even legacy products like Gold Bond have gone talc-free and just isnt good anymore. THIS talcum powder is ground really fine just like a body powder. I took the cap off my old Gold Bond bottle and filled it up with this stuff. Unlike corn starch which goes on smooth but, ends up feeling sticky. real talcum powder dries and keeps you dry. Yeah, this talcum powder may be labeled as a filler for epoxy but, it is also the good ol talcum powder youre looking for.

I used this to thicken epoxy for a boat project. Its unscented, and pure talcum. Like any additives, the amount used depends on thickness desired. Slightly pricey for the size. Its good for bonding or a glue thickener. I wouldnt use it for laminating unless it was filling the weave after cloth.

I use real talc to get rid of ants.

Smokers can still buy their cigarettes, and Im guessing that modern tobacco products are even more carcinogenic than talcum powder. What I especially hate is products that say TALC in big letters on the front, and you have to read the fine-print ingredients to know theyre entirely cornstarch. (How can they do this, when soy and almond beverages are not allowed to use the word milk on their containers? And WHY, when the absence of real talc is touted as a selling point?) Cornstarch is great stuff, in its place. If I were a parent, Id certainly want cornstarch-powder for my babys behind. Babies behinds need changing so often that cornstarch powder probably works just fine for them. But I want a powder that will keep things dry between my toes for twelve to twenty-four hours at a time and, sorry, cornstarch substitute JUST DOESNT WORK! And who do I sue if my athletes foot comes back because I cant get real talcum powder any longer? Yes, I know that athletes foot isnt in the same category as cancer, but Im almost 80 and have never been diagnosed with cancer, while I have been diagnosed, in teen-age, with athletes foot and have used talcum powder every night of my life since to keep it away. Nor do I make a habit of sniffing my toes. I dont like being forced to go to talcum labeled not for personal use, even though this is good, fine, real talcum powder and just the stuff that folks like me need to have. Up until a very few years ago, I could get 14 oz. of it for under two dollars, so it seems jolting to have to pay almost twenty dollars for about the equivalent of two 14-oz. containers; but at least I dont use it up that fast. And, as I say, this product really is good, old-fashioned talcum powder.

I ordered a body powder Ive used in the past, hoping it would still be talc. It was not. It is now cornstarch. No thank you. I put this product in my monkey bottle...and now I have a sprinkle-top container with an ingredient that works. Thank you!

I have enormous callused sweaty hands. I tear even the thickest nitrile gloves putting them on because the sizing of the gloves is never accurate when it comes to me. Since the USA is such a litigious country, all of the consumer brands have replaced talc with cornstarch in their powders and this is a huge problem for me. I use cornstarch to thicken soups and gravies and fungi LOVES to feed on the cheap sugars that are readily available in starches. If I am successfully able to get a nitrile glove on my hand, Im going to wear it as long as I can for fear of tearing the subsequent glove that I put on, and I dont need to have a thick, fungi-friendly sweat paste against my skin for hours at a time. This talc is amazing. I took the top off of a gold bond bottle, dumped out all of the cornstarch, filled it with this talc and keep it next to my box of gloves so that I can dust my hands and slide into a new pair any time that I want to without fear of tearing half a dozen or so. My hands come out nice and dry even after wearing gloves for much longer than I should. It pours smoothly, does not clump, and seems that the milling of the powder is extremely consistent. Please note: This is not meant for the use which I use it for, so please take that into account when purchasing it.

This came in a large, wide-mouthed jar so I relocated it as shown in the photograph. Talcum powder appears nestle impossible to get. I was thrilled to find this. Talc does not support the growth of bacteria and fungi like corn starch. This has no odor and thats a beautiful thing.

Used it to make chalk paint, works wonderful

My wife and I are 70. We will take the chance on cancer. Still selling tobacco. I use a pepper shaker. I spray my favorite cologne on a piece of cotton, put it in the bottom of the shaker and wa-la...label the shaker and its done. Be sure to get shakers with small holes. There are different sizes.

It’s awesome. I’m using it to replace Gold Bond.
