But while the lawsuit is underway, the good news is that talcum powder may still have its own set of positive benefits. Talcum powder is considered an inert material, which means it is generally safe for use, and there have been several studies that have demonstrated positive benefits in using talcum powder for personal care.
For example, talcum powder can absorb moisture, so it can be used to reduce skin moisture, decrease friction, and provide relief from irritated skin. It can also absorb bad odors, which can reduce the chance of body odor. For women, talcum powder can be used to absorb sweat from the groin area, and it can provide relief from chafing and irritation.
Studies have also suggested that talcum powder can be used to keep skin healthy and reduce the risk of skin infections, such as staph infections. It can also help in the prevention of diaper rash in babies
