So why talc-free? Talc is an inorganic material that already is causing huge legal issues in the US, with people taking companies to court, after they have been diagnosed with ovarian cancers, with their attorneys citing talcum powder as the cause. The brand leader has recently announced it will discontinue use of talc in the US and Canada, following landmark legal cases.
Corinne Taylor’s Talc-Free Body Powder is formulated by a qualified aromatherapist. It’s sold in plastic-free aluminium packaging, in a handy sifter tub. This award-winning body powder is made with a combination of organic arrowroot and cornstarch and soft Bentonite clay, to absorb moisture while soothing skin. Scented with soothing chamomile and lavender oils. Avoid essential oils for pregnancy/nursing, babies and affected medical conditions.
Chagrin Valley (US) offers scent-free body powder. The same company offers scented body powders made with kaolin clay and finely-milled vegetable root powders. Choose from Rose Garden, Sage Mist, Lavender or Fresh Feet (made with organic herbs and essential oils).
Novapure Naturals is a face & body powder made with organic oats, arrowroot, kaolin clay, chamomile and calendula. Ideal to prevent rashes, there are before/after photos on the website of people who have been healed in weeks or days (sometimes hours) after use.
Keep this powder dry, away from water and open flame. Keep away from pets, as it contains zinc (also in sunscreens, wash off before letting pets lick you!)
