Thanks for all the replies everyone!
The best way I can describe it is that it leaves a residue on my hands... it's not a powder, nothing is kicked up to irritate the respiratory system that I can tell. It's drying and kinda tacky feeling. I'd say it works well. Check it out if you have the opportunity. I'm not sure of any "real" name for the stuff or brand names, we got it some time ago. I've always seen it referred to as "chalkless" chalk or dustless "chalk" ... more as a descriptor of what it's used for/subbed for than a real name I can give you. But the people at an outdoor store like REI (maybe Dicks, around here they're idiots there, but maybe elsewhere they're more with it) should have an idea of what you're talking about if you don't just find it with the climbing stuff with the chalk/gloves/etc.
