Heck yah, mustard too. You can even put more talc in it if ya want.
Talc is quite flavorless, I eat a fair amount (unintentionally) when I'm bottleing the stuff up.
I've even been known to turn into a white man, though that's only temporary.
Well, it's just that you guys aren't old enough or been diving long enough to remember when mask fins and snorkels were made of rubber, not plastic and silicone and a dusting with unscented talc was standard protocol.
If you make 2 dives every day at a run time of 100 min per dive then that is about 3 hours out of 24 that your suit (& seals) are wet and 21 hours that it is dry.
The talc will keep them from drying out (I got almost 5 years out of my last set, but I know folks that don't take care of them and whine that they only last a year). Furthermore it makes them easy to slip into the next time you put your suit on.
When I couldn't readily find unscented talc I called Andy Whitehouse who owns Andy's Undies (and Drysuits) and he said, "Just go get cornstartch, that's what we use at the factory." Good enough for me. That would be row 13 at the grocery store with flour and other baking products! Makes a great gravy too!
