Hello Beautiful People,
Please be aware that the products you use on your body or at home may be harmful and make you sick. It’s time to look through your medicine cabinet to see if any of your items have talcum powder as one of its ingredients. Look closely at the things as if you were a detective solving a case.
Drugwatch.com states talcum powder is derived from talc, a soft and naturally occurring mineral used in baby powders, makeup, deodorant, ceramics, and paint. Some research links talc to ovarian cancer and talc contaminated with asbestos to mesothelioma. To learn more about talcum powder and its dangers, click HERE.

Johnson & Johnson, one of the major companies that used talc for many years, announced in August 2022 that they would stop selling talc-based baby powder globally in 2023. The company faced thousands of lawsuits that claim its product causes cancer. The company insists the decision is purely financial and has nothing to do with the product’s safety. However, in April 2023, they agreed to an $8.9 billion talc settlement. According to a DrugWatch article that outlines the settlement, asbestos was found in a batch of talc. This settlement is a long time coming but will not bring back those whose loved ones passed away.
Talc is not only in baby powder or makeup. It is also found in these unexpected products, like ceramics and paper. 
If you have not cleaned out your medicine cabinet or your beauty bag in a long time, now is the time. Look at what you have, check out the ingredients, and dispose of anything that has talc or talcum powder as one of its ingredients. More options are available that are safer and better for you.
