Synopsis A technique was developed to evaluate the relative slip of ten test talcs and two control talcs (one with known good slip and one with known poor slip properties). The study was conducted under double‐blind conditions with a naive panel of 19 subjects, who with minimal training ranked the 12 talcs. The rankings identified were in line with expectations. Such sensory analysis could be applied in this cost‐effective manner to the evaluation and comparison of many properties of cosmetics and toiletries.
