body powder

Skin-drying cosmetic

Body powder is a fine, typically scented powder applied to the skin to absorb moisture, reduce friction, and leave a pleasant fragrance.

Traditional formulations used talc, though cornstarch-based alternatives are now common.

Body powder helps prevent chafing in areas where skin meets skin: She dusted body powder under her arms after showering.
