The main ingredient of baby powder in European and American countries is still talc
It’s March, and although the temperature is still cold in some parts of northern China, it’s time for parents to consider preparing summer supplies for their babies. Xinhua News Agency reporters recently conducted a survey on the baby powder market in the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, France and Germany and found that talcum powder, the traditional raw material of baby powder, still controls the market.
Talc is a common silicate mineral that is widely used in many fields such as medicine, food additives, cosmetics, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine regards talc as an important medicinal material.
