Toilet powder (6)

I believe the answer is:

talcum

'toilet powder' is the definition.
(talcum is a kind of toilet powder)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for talcum that I've seen before include "Toilet powder which absorbs moisture" , "Soft powder" , "Standard body powder" , "Bathroom powder" , "Kind of powder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the Sydney Morning Herald.
