Due to these qualities, it is the perfect ingredient for baby powder, deodorant, cosmetics, and several other consumer goods.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0For more than 125 years ago, Johnson &amp; Johnson has ruled over the market with its baby talcum powder products, often used for infants to prevent diaper rash.
