One thing that drives me nuts is that you can’t get pure talc in the US (baby powder has stuff added to it, including oils and fragrance; the oils can screw up plastic, etc over time).
The last time I looked, it was being sold as though it was a controlled substance alongside laboratory grade ethanol, etc.
On the one hand, baby powder causes ovarian cancer (there is evidence that this is true for talc that is not contaminated with asbestos, despite J&J’s long disinformation campaigns).
On the other, if you want to use it in an application where it is perfectly safe, it’s essentially impossible to buy an appropriate product.
