The answer is TALC.
The answer to the clue "Mineral no longer used in bath powder" is TALC. Talc is a naturally occurring mineral composed of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. It has been widely used in personal care products, particularly as a key ingredient in talcum powder, for its ability to absorb moisture, reduce friction, and provide a silky texture.
However, its use in bath powders and other cosmetic products has significantly declined due to health concerns. Studies and lawsuits have linked talc-based products to respiratory issues and, controversially, to an increased risk of ovarian cancer and mesothelioma when contaminated with asbestos, a naturally occurring substance sometimes found alongside talc deposits. As a result, many companies have reformulated their products with alternative ingredients, such as cornstarch, to ensure consumer safety.
