baby powder
Soft infant talc
Baby powder is a fine, soft powder applied to skin—especially infants' skin—to absorb moisture and prevent chafing or diaper rash.
Traditionally made from talc, though cornstarch-based versions now dominate due to health concerns about talc.
Adults use it similarly in skin folds or to absorb sweat: She dusted baby powder under her arms.
