Pure talc vs. regular drugstore baby powder for storage?

I’m about to pack away a few items for a couple of months and I need to powder them so they don’t stick together. Is it absolutely necessary to buy the specialized, premium talc sold specifically for latex garments?

Can I just use regular baby powder from the drugstore instead? I've heard conflicting things online. Some people say cheap baby powder contains oils or perfumes that can degrade the material over time, while others swear they’ve been using it for years with zero issues.

What do you all use for long-term storage? If drugstore powder is fine, are there any ingredients I should strictly avoid? Thanks!
