Here is the US Talc has some controversy with the hiostory of containing asbestos. Anyone have any intel on this? How do you know when the ingredient list says "talc" that is contains no asbestos?

This is what I remember to growing up, but I was unclear exactly why they used it. Was it for the smell or to help get the hair brushed off l I have no idea?Once upon time, the barbers in my home town applied talc after shaving my neck. However, that is the only time that I used talc.

I guess I didn't realize talc was asbestos related. That's no good.I don’t think they would be allowed to sell any products that contained Asbestos anymore. I know here in Australia they cannot. I don’t use talc for any shaving related activities but I do occasionally use talc as a foot powder in the Summer months.
TrueMaybe years ago but I doubt it now. You only have to read what is the packaging. Hey, we use baby powder (talcum powder) on babies every day in this day and age. If it was harmful it wouldn’t be sold.
If I recall correctly the association between talc and asbestos was from a specific mine that had high levels of naturally occurring asbestos. This mine was a significant source, and that caused the scare and resulting association and controversy. Because of this, talc in general got a bad name, and went out of style for no particular reason than it was associated with a bad event.
I don’t remember where I read this, but I do have a vague recollection/ impression that I was inclined to lend a certain credibility to the source at the time - take that for what you will, it’s worth every cent it cost ya!
Use it e everyday in some form. My barber uses it in his neck dusterHere is the US Talc has some controversy with the hiostory of containing asbestos. Anyone have any intel on this? How do you know when the ingredient list says "talc" that is contains no asbestos?
