Talc-Free Powder: Dry Shampoo
I was recently turned on to dry shampoo as a way to keep my hair from looking oily between shower shampoos. My hair tends to be oily and is dark brown. All of these dry shampoos are great, not only because they are talc-free dry shampoos made in the USA, but also because they leave your hair smelling and looking great. There's no grayish hair look from these powders.
ACURE Dry Shampoo is made from organic and non-GMO corn starch, French white clay (kaolin), oat flour, slippery elm bark flour, argan stem cells, CoQ10, and lavender and chamomile essential oils. This dry shampoo is great to use between showers to dull that oily hair look, or to use after blow drying your hair to texturize when styling.
Fat and The Moon Lavender & Cocoa Dry Shampoo is perfect for light brown to dark brown or black tresses. The shampoo is made of cocoa powder, arrowroot starch, kaolin clay, and lavender essential oil. It's easy to apply to the hair root. Simply part your hair and apply the powder using a brush. Beware of the seductive combination of lavender and chocolate – it might send you on a chocolate binge!

It's non-GMO, gluten-free, talc-free, vegan and free of parabens, sulfates, and perfumes. The brand also offers options for all hair types, including oily hair, and is offered in grapefruit and sweet orange and lavender and bergamot.
Little Barn Apothecary Flowers + Clay Dry Shampoo is made from rice starch, kaolin clay, corn starch and a blend of natural fragrances. I love this dry shampoo because it's lightweight, has a lovely light floral fragrance, and is easy to apply. I like using it after working out, and before showering, if I'm running errands around town. I absolutely love how this smells. The floral scent reminds me of lily of the valley, which happens to be one of my favorite flowers.

The puff applicator makes it so easy to apply and blend into your scalp without any mess. It’s handmade with organic arrowroot powder, non-GMO cornstarch, lemon peel powder, organic witch hazel, and aluminum free baking soda. It’s also vegan and cruelty-free.

yarok Feed Your Style Organic Dry Shampoo is 100% vegan, gluten-free, alcohol-free, paraben free, sulfate free, cruelty-free, and talc-free. I've written about how much I love yarok products in my non-toxic hair care guide, and Yarok's dry shampoo is no exception. The organic starch and arrowroot tapioca powder absorb excess oils in the hair, while organic aloe vera leaf powder and french green clay powder detoxify and add volume to your hair.
Zabana Essentials Dry Shampoo Lavender Citrus Mint smells amazing. It's a really fresh scent without being overpowering. All the scents 0f lavender, mint, and lemon come thru when you use it. This shampoo is made with kaolin clay, avena (collodial oatmeal), arrowroot powder, sodium bicarbonate, essential oils, and bamboo extract. With clay as the first ingredient, I find it's great for hiding greasy hair in between wet shampooing. It's 100% natural and vegan.

These products all look good and I especially like that they are talcum free. I would like to try the dry shampoo, for starters!
these talc free powders will come in handy with a family member is due very soon
I usually buy talc-free powder, but recently, due to a fungal patch on my skin, I had to start looking for one that’s also cornstarch-free. (Cornstarch makes it worse.) That combo can be hard to find!
Tamra, there are plenty of options on the list that do not have cornstarch, as you can see from the info list on this page. 🙂
There wouldn’t be greyish look from talcum powder if it was run in probably, I use it all the time and am bright blonde and never have a greyish look from it, rub it in good, I find talcum powder works best for me then these actual dry shampoos they use irritate my scalp, I find talcum better
Great products for sure talc free so wise with all the scares about it . Lavender & Rose Body Dusting Powder sound like an interesting one to try
I often use cornstarch, but there is nothing all that wonderful it. I love the Believe Organics Talc Free Powder, and I’d like to try it!
