What is Talcum Powder?
Talc or talcum is a clay mineral comprised of magnesium, silicon, oxygen and hydrogen. Talcum-based products used as a powder absorbs moisture and minimizes friction. In loose form one of the most widely used substances known as baby powder.
Baby powder is an astringent powder used for preventing diaper rash, as a deodorant, and for other cosmetic uses. Baby powder is also efficient for removing greasy hair, or oil on clothes. Baby powder can also be used as a shampoo, cleaning agent, and freshener.
Talcum powder is dangerous if inhaled since it may cause aspiration pneumonia or granuloma. Pediatricians generally prefer cornstarch to talc because it is unlikely to be easily inhaled.
Many women have used talc in the forms of Johnson’s Baby Powder, Shower-to-Shower or generic brand talc-based body powders. Some studies have found a statistical relationship between talc applied to the perineal area by women and incidence of ovarian cancer. In 2017, over 1,000 U.S. women sued Johnson & Johnson for covering up the possible cancer risk with its Baby Powder product.
