Talc is a raw material whose mineralogical origin is related to other types of soils and minerals such as quartz, magnesite and serpentine.
Talc is widely used in industries such as textiles, paper, food and ceramics and especially in the pharmaceutical industry. This is why exhaustive quality and safety controls are carried out on the mineralogical and chemical composition of the product.
This sparked my interest in studying the mineralogical and chemical composition of talc samples from Morocco in 2022 for pharmaceutical-cosmetic use. The quality guidelines established in European regulations have been followed in order to assess the suitability of the samples with a view to their possible introduction into the European market.
Keywords: talc, mineral quality, pharmaceutical-cosmetic, Morocco.
