Talc absorbs moisture but we know all the side effects it has.

I use rice flour for slippers to keep them odorless and it really helps!
I use it as a seasoned starch to coat my fish before frying it, as a soup

There are a million ways to use rice flour.
It is cheap, practical, free of chemicals, preservatives or coloring.
The perfect natural ecological answer 🙂
