No one should be using talc any more after what we know about it causing cancer.

They didn't know why - even tested their home for radon thinking it was environmental.It turned out for years she used talc under her breasts and in her armpits - they felt her cancer was caused by breathing that talcum powder when she applied it.

No increased risk of lung cancer has been reported with the use of cosmetic talcum powder. (via the ACA)

@sunshine45     I would still give you some ~ happily. I have plenty since I have been buying Perlier products for many years and they used to always include the talc in their kits. I use it in ways which you describe and usually have two or three bottles in rotation but they last for years because I use them sparingly.

I love using their almond talc in the summer!

@151949, use it or don't use, but it's better not to fear-monger here. @sunshine45 is absolutely right.

The potential danger from inhalation was due to asbestos, which has not been used in cosmetic talc since the 1970s.
