Virtually all cosmetics and personal care products contain chemical ingredients. If you buy your toiletries, even from a health food store, you still need to read labels more today than ever before! Because of increasing consumer awareness about healthy products, manufacturers are designing the packages to make it look like the ingredients inside the package are plant derived, natural and healthy. But if you read and interpret the ingredients on the label, there's a very good chance that you'll find that's not the case.

FYI

-Cancer causing ingredients are legal

-Manufactureres are allowed to use almost any ingredients they want
because of a lack of regulation in the cosmetics & personal care industry.

-FDA cant make them stop.

Talc can be contaminated with asbestos fibers, posing risks for respiratory toxicity and cancer. Studies by the National Toxicology Panel demonstrated that cosmetic-grade talc free of asbestos is a form of magnesium silicate that also can be toxic and carcinogenic.
