You know how soft it feels when you are working on a soapstone and sculpting little statues? i love that feeling as much as i love the feeling of babypowder on my irritated skin. So i did some research and they are actually made of the same material, who would've thought that! i love how our world is so big and there's so much to learn. it is called tarc and basically gets grinded into the thin powder it needs to be for application. some manufacturers add zinc to help irritation as well as fragrance. i looove the smell of baby powder. i feel so clean.
