2. Types of talcum powder

According to its main raw materials, common talcum powder can be divided into the following categories:

1.Talc as the main ingredient

Due to cost reasons, talcum powder is the earliest used and most commonly used raw material for baby powder. As time goes by, its harmfulness to the body has gradually become apparent.

Therefore, be careful when using it to prevent the baby from inhaling it or making it come into contact with the external genitalia. (This is especially important for baby girls).

Practice has proved that this type of product is effective (especially for baby's eczema) and does not harm the human body. However, the price of this type of product is relatively high, which limits its promotion to a certain extent.
