They ordered Phamacy quality talc and I received it last week. It is called "Talc USP", part 30-1239-454 GM. Look in the Yellow Pages in the Pharmacy section and see which ones offer compounding. Or contact Professional Compounding Centers of America, 9001 S. Wilcrest, Houston, TX, 77099. Ph: 800-331-2498. All of this information is on the label of my talc jar. Cost is around $15.00. The idea of melting the vaseline is so you can get a mixture. After meltdown, I mixed it up with lanolin, and some of Spulocks teflon powder and it works great!
