Re: baby powder vs cornstarch?
this was exactly what my research found. and to add to this, my doll care kit came with a tub of overpriced "renewal powder" which was just a small tub of of the shelf Chinese Johnson's talcum powder. this stuff was horrible compared to the stuff i buy of the shelf here. it was coarse, almost abrasive and a different color, more grayish. i didnt want use it on my doll and i wouldn't use it on myself.Arthur1960 wrote:Just found this article which is worth reading about the alleged risks of people using talc:

as for cornstarch or talcum powder...i would say buy depending on your climate. cool and dry = corn starch. hot and humid = talcum.
however if your mouth touches a particular part of the doll...maybe corn starch on that area

How do y'all apply the powder? Use a powder puff, brush, or hand? I'll post pics of my doll when it arrives. Later

Absolutely. Every doll should have her own signature scent.Aber wrote:Cornstarch with a few squirts of perfume.

I put cornstarch in an old cut off stocking and lightly blot my doll with it one area at a time, then brush smooth with a 1½" make-up brush. Don't need much. A little goes a long way.Rigidman wrote:How do y'all apply the powder? Use a powder puff, brush, or hand? I'll post pics of my doll when it arrives. Later

That's the 1st time I've heard that, and I wonder if that's my problem. I have a silicone doll but I live on the gulf coast (a swamp) and my doll will get tacky in 1-2 days after powdering with starch... I will give talcum a try immediately!

Re: baby powder vs cornstarch?
I know the corn grown around these parts is genetically modified and heavily treated with pesticides. Just because its deemed "food grade" does not make it "safe for consumption".
Has anyone looked into Zinc Oxide as an alternative? Its fairly inexpensive...not sure how it would react to TPE, my guess is that most of the Stainless Steel frame bolts and nuts are likely Zinc-plated?
