Talc's softness allows it to be applied and removed without causing skin abrasion. Talc also can absorb oils and perspiration produced by human skin. The ability of talc to absorb moisture, absorb odour, adhere to the skin, serve as a lubricant, and produce an astringent effect in contact with human skin makes it an important ingredient in many antiperspirants.
