Baby Powder

Don’t let the fact that baby powder should be safe for infants fool you. This widely used product contains harmful fragrances and talc, an ingredient frighteningly similar to asbestos that has been linked to the thickening or scarring of lungs and other tissues.

Think twice before sprinkling baby powder on your bikini line, as it’s also been linked to ovarian cancer. Instead, soothe chapped skin with coconut oil, talc-free baby powder products, or even a simple homemade concoction of arrowroot starch and chamomile.
