Talc Alternatives Market To Witness Huge Growth By 2029 | Nouryon, Evonik Industries, Imerys S.A., Cabot Corporation, Cargill, Ingredion

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.
