Talc often contains asbestos. Baby powder, cosmetics, and feminine hygiene products that contain talc usually also contain asbestos.Based on epidemiological evidence, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies talc contaminated with asbestos as carcinogenic. Using asbestos containing talcum powder on genital areas, either as a dusting powder or in the form of a feminine hygiene product, may be associated with ovarian cancer. Although the evidence is not complete about whether talc containing cosmetics or baby powder can cause cancer, it is best to avoid these products (Pediatrician, Questions & Answers, Talc).
