Soapstone mineral (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

talc

(Other definitions for talc that I've seen before include "Softest substance in Mohs scale of hardness" , "Scented powder used after bathing" , "Bathroom powder (abbr)" , "White powder for the bathroom" , "Soft stuff" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
