Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 >I see many recipes for this in bath powders. Opinions please. When you say a " bath powder " do you mean a " dusting powder " or something that will be added directly to the bath? Maurice -------------------------------------------------------- Maurice O.

Also the application of Kaolin Clay in >a facial mask. I would be concerned about using Kaolin in a dusting powder. Generally speaking, inhaling anything other air is not a good idea. Inhaling minerals (Kaolin) is not good for the lungs. This, as you might expect, is well documented in the literature. I've used Kaolin in a facial mask formula.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Thanks Maurice, DO I understand that inhalation is the major concern? Kaolin is not a hazard topically? Now thinking of a liquid after bath powder. Jan S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 >DO I understand that inhalation is the major concern? Yes. If you search Medline http://gateway.nlm.nih.gov/gw/Cmd for " kaolin lung? " (without the quotation marks), you get 78 hits. I haven't read them all, but I would suspect that most of the citations deal with the problems associated with the inhalation of Kaolin. > Kaolin is not a hazard topically? I am not aware of any problems associated with the use of Kaolin in topical applications. Now thinking of a liquid after bath powder. Take a look at these " liquid talc " formulations: http://www.personalcarepolymers.com/Doc/EN/FORMULATION/9500192B.pdf http://www.personalcarepolymers.com/Doc/EN/FORMULATION/908044.pdf Maurice -------------------------------------------------------- Maurice O.
