Is Baby Powder Safe? Here’s What Parents Need to Know
Here’s the safety scoop on baby powder, including talc-free and organic options.
The dangers of baby powder have actually been in question since the 1960s, with people worrying over a possible link between asbestos-contaminated baby powder and cancer. Over the years, in fact, thousands of lawsuits have been filed against Johnson & Johnson largely by women with ovarian cancer who claim that long-term use of baby powder in their genital region lead to the disease.
So what does all this mean for the safety of your baby? Here’s what parents need to know: Back in 1976, the trade association representing the personal care products industry created voluntary safety standards that said all talc used in cosmetic products shouldn’t have any detectable amount of asbestos in it. A 2010found that the cosmetic products they tested containing talc—including baby powder, eye shadow and blush—were indeed free of any asbestos fibers.
