The end result is a smooth surface comparable to a bowling ball.
Baby powder, particularly talc-free options like cornstarch-based formulas, can be a useful tool for gardeners to protect their hands from hazards such as blisters and contact dermatitis.

Additionally, baby powder can serve as a natural ant repellent and deodorizer for garden shoes.
A joke in the animated movie "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" about Miles Morales endorsing baby powder has left fans wondering what it was referencing.

The joke is made funnier by the fact that Miles' decision to endorse baby powder was inspired by a moment from the comics when Peter Parker reminded him of its ability to reduce costume chaffing.
