Baby Powder - Body Powders = Talc = not good

Baby Powder - Body Powders = Talc = not good

Happy New Year to everyone!

A quick note on the powders we put on our bodies everyday. Worse than that the powders we put on our babies and children every day. All over the counter powders contain talc or talcum powder. The thing you need to know is Talc is closely related to potent carcinogen asbestos. When I found out about that I threw all my powders away in my house. I only buy all natural body powders now. Oh... and also, you can find Talc in many products we use every day! Unfortunately, most people do not know this. I didn't until a couple months ago. But, we live, we learn and we do better.

Do the research, find out for yourselves about this. Here's an article to start you out from the Cancer Prevention Coalition regarding Talc: http://www.preventcancer.com/consumers/cosmetics/talc.htm.

I am so happy to be able to live in this day and time to be able to research these things with a click of the mouse. Otherwise, I would have never known about the stuff I was putting on my lips or the powders I was putting on my body.

Let's make it a wonderful year. Let's work toward cutting out these chemicals as best we can, a little at a time. It's good for us, it's good for our children and it's good for our earth.

Tree Hugger? Yes, quite possibly :0)
