This personal care item provides a dry, smooth feel on the skin and helps to absorb moisture. It is designed as an alternative to traditional formulations that historically contained a specific mineral. Examples of ingredients commonly used in these formulations include cornstarch, tapioca starch, arrowroot powder, and various clay minerals.
The adoption of these alternatives stems from growing concerns regarding the potential health risks associated with the mineral formerly used in such products. The shift reflects an emphasis on consumer safety and the availability of effective, plant-based or mineral-based substitutes. This movement highlights an increasing awareness of ingredient sourcing and its potential impact on well-being.
