Given the medical dangers now believed to be associated with talc (cancers etc) I cant see it being made widely available in chemists etc. You may find it in places like NK which carries high end perfumes etc.

Talcum powders (the fragrant ones) are available at Åhléns department stores. Baby powder you can find in most shops, try one of the baby goods shops if your local supermarket doesn't have them

It is hard to find the classic Johnson & Johnson baby powder here. Some Asian and Indian food shops in Stockholm have it. Perfumed talc...almost any department store, but as someone remarked above, it's not something you'd want to use for children.

I buy Johnson and Johnson's baby powder from Amazon UK. Just got 3 x 500g delivered last week with free delivery because I bought other stuff up to 25 quid worth,,,

I am always amazed at the numerous questions like this on this site....Doesn't anyone go to the store and check what they have before coming on here and asking or are they too bloody lazy?????? Quite incredible really

I've used that, but it's not exactly the same...close, but not exactly...

And yes, I know Natusan is J & J, but the formula is definitely different here...

I think that there are some chemicals that are not legal in Sweden so they change the formulation

Ashlito,.... living in the country one doesn't have access to a wide selection of stores for shopping....& yes I have shopped in the most likely stores for certain products when on a shopping trip!

Pleased to say that I found Natusan baby powder in RUSTA!
