Type of powder (6)

I believe the answer is:

talcum

'type of powder' is the definition.
(I know that talcum is a type of bath powder)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for talcum that I've seen before include "Type of powder" , "Standard body powder" , "Perfumed powder" , "Popular scented body powder" , "Dusting powder" .)

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