    Talcum Powder, USP Grade - Recommended

    Product purchased: Talcum Powder, USP Grade

    Intended Use: making fragranced talcum powder

    Texture: Perfect for bath talc, very fine.

    Asbestos: I could not find any information about asbestos content.

    Lead time: Pleased with delivery time from Texas to Washington State.

    Other Information: Glad to have found this company in Texas after years of purchasing from a Canadian company out of necessity. There was always a long lead time for talc from the Canadian company. Their product is good but when I tried to order in August 2025 their e-commerce website sent multiple charge attempts to my credit card of a value that did not match the actual price on the receipt. The result was my Visa credit card was locked from all purchases until I spent an hour with Visa getting things resolved. This caused me to start looking for a new supplier and Lab Alley displayed early in the web search results. Not sure why I'd never found Lab Alley in previous searches. Glad to work with Lab Alley.
