Question

Which mineral resource is used to make baby powder?

Answer 1

a) talc  Most people are familiar with the mineral talc. It can be crushed into a white powder that is widely known as "talcum powder." This powder has the ability to absorb moisture, absorb oils, absorb odor, serve as a lubricant, and produce an astringent effect with human skin.

Answer 2

the answer on e2020 is "talc"; in the usa, we dont normally see "talcum powder" written on baby powder; but if you go to anywhere else in the world ( specifically asia) instead of calling it baby powder, most of the time, they called it talcum or talc powder.
