Talcum Powder

🚨6/10

For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), talc is not a great choice, especially as a loose powder. The biggest immediate risk is breathing in the fine dust. There are also documented concerns about contamination and possible links to cancer from some government and scientific reviews, so many countries limit its use.

Cancer - Government and health review bodies have linked talc to cancer. The ingredient record includes listings of 'known human carcinogen' and notes evaluations by an international cancer research agency (IARC) that found evidence connecting talc exposure to cancer in some uses. This means using talc (especially powdered forms that can be inhaled or used in the genital area) has been tied to increased cancer risk in some studies.

Banned - Several regulators limit or restrict talc in cosmetics. The ingredient record shows use and manufacturing restrictions cited by the EU Cosmetics rules and Health Canada, meaning some governments have banned or tightly limited talc in certain products or concentrations.

Organ Risk - A national environmental health agency (Environment Canada) classifies talc as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs and gives it a medium human-health priority. The record also flags contamination with asbestos-like (asbestiform) fibers, which can damage lungs after inhalation.

Long-Term Risk - The harms linked to talc (cancer and organ damage) are tied to repeated or long-term exposure. Agencies that reviewed talc list these long-term health concerns, so regular use over time raises added risk.

Absorbed - The ingredient record notes enhanced skin absorption for talc in some uses. That means talc or impurities in talc may more easily get past the skin and into the body in some product forms.
