Talc?? Question!

[ Edited ]

So in the hair cover powders, they contain Talc. Like Adrienes, Joan Rivers, TruHair and others.  I like using to cover roots.

 

Is this not the Same Ingredient that Johnson and Johnson is having to pay a lot of money for this causing cancer???

What I understand is that talc is not troublesome if used on your face or head.  It may, or may not, cause problems when used consistently every day on lower parts of the body.

Talc should not be inhaled.  Personally, if talc is listed in any product

I will not purchase:

If in doubt, don't put it on the hair down there and there'll be nothing to worry about.

Talc contains asbestos & J&J didn’t disclose that on their labels. Better to use corn starch for moisture problems there.

Using a little every day is what caused cancer and that is why there are class action lawsuits now - years later.
