Talc Alternatives – Replacing Mineral Talc Due to Increased Awareness
Talc, a powder that absorbs moisture and odor, serves as a lubricant and provides an astringent effect to the skin. There has been a negative perception in the minds of people in the recent past due to lawsuits on talc manufacturing companies such as Johnson & Johnson regarding their usage of asbestos in talcum powder, which has had a massive impact on the talc market.
Talc is also reported to be cancerous and even poisonous if inhaled or swallowed; thus, there has been an increase in regulations regarding the usage of talc. Keeping this in mind, companies have begun to develop talc alternatives from various natural materials such as corn starch, arrowroot powder, silica, etc.
These talc alternatives not only fulfill the demands regarding talc but also add their own benefits. For e.g., corn starch is softer than talc; baking soda can better deodorize the air, etc.

Talc alternatives can perform functions similar to talc, thus, are used as fillers in the paper and pulp industry, or as a glidant in the pharmaceutical industry. Talc alternatives are made up of natural materials, and therefore, can be easily occupied in food, fertilizer, insecticide, and cosmetic industries with increased sustainability.

Although research is currently slow, increased awareness regarding talc shall push companies to look for alternatives. E.g., Johnson and Johnson themselves have shifted from talc to corn starch to produce their baby powder. Talc alternatives are usually manufactured using natural and plant-based products, thus giving increased consumer confidence in the product.
Even other end industries are looking for talc alternatives, as these tend to perform functions better. Corn starch is a better alternative to spray insecticides, being a natural anti-caking agent. Tapioca starch is utilized as a glidant in the pharmaceutical industry, as it performs functions better than talc. Such talc alternatives will shape the framework for the growth of the market.
