Talc is Used in Everyday Consumer Products
Talc is naturally-occurring mineral and has been mined in the United States since the late 1800s. It is typically reduced to a fine powder and used in everyday consumer products. In addition to cosmetics, other products that contain talcum powder include:
- Deodorant
- Baby Powders
- Body Powders
- Medicated Powders
- Sanitary Pads
How Did Asbestos Contaminate This Talc?
Asbestos is also a naturally-occurring mineral that was once used in many products, and despite its deadly effects, is still intentionally used today in a few products. Many talc mines are contaminated with asbestos because the veins of talc and the veins of asbestos run adjacent to each other, resulting in the asbestos being removed right along with the talc. The contaminated talc is then used to manufacture supposed asbestos-free products such as cosmetics and body powders like the "Just Shine Shimmer Powder".
Sadly, if asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested it can result in asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, or other cancers. It can often take decades before a doctor can diagnose these diseases because symptoms typically appear anywhere between 15-60 or more years after exposure.
