Soft mineral (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

talc

'soft mineral' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for talc that I've seen before include "Cosmetic powder" , "Toilet powder - mica" , "soother" , "Drier" , "Powdered substance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Telegraph, The New York Times, The Times, the LA Times, The Independent, the Newsday and the King Feature Syndicate.
