TALCUM POWDER
Talcum powder is made from talc, a mineral composed of silicon, magnesium, and oxygen elements.
In its natural form, talc could contain asbestos. Asbestos has long been linked to cancer risk. Because talc powder absorbs moisture and prevents friction, it can help keep skin dry and rash-free.
Talcum powder is widely used in cosmetic and sanitary products. It has been sold without any restrictions or warnings for more than 40 years. Sadly, from using this product, an estimated 20 to 40% of women in the United States have increased their risk of developing ovarian cancer.
Frequent users of talcum powder products have a right to know. Talcum powder may be responsible for over 10,000 ovarian cancer diagnoses every year.
