Baby Powder non talcum based

Summary
Talcum powder is an interesting example of a cancer myth with a foundation in truth.
Prior to the regulation of talcum powder in 1973, the asbestos in talc could reasonably
be anticipated to increase cancer risk. Now, though, talc is processed differently and is
considered safe for use on the external genitals.

In 1976 the cosmetic makers' association called upon its members to keep their talc products asbestos-free. Johnson & Johnson says its baby powder never had it, never will, and blames the whole thing on low-class "industrial" (i.e., noncosmetic) talc. If you'd just as soon not take any chances, you'll have to be careful; talc can be found in a variety of consumer products, including dusting powders, deodorants, chalk, textiles, pills, and soap.
