Answer:

Talc

Explanation:

Talc only has a hardness of one on the Moh's scale of hardness. This translates into a very soft material, which results from its layered nature. Naturally, this substance is hydrophobic (dislikes water), and tends not to absorb water, therefore giving some of its favourable water-resistant characteristics.
