Talc
As found in the baby talcum powder, is a hydrated magnesium silicate mineral that is commonly used to make household items such as stove, sink and even electrical switchboards. If you and your loved ones are suffering from cancer caused by talc then you can file a talcum powder lawsuit.
There had been several issues talked over how Talc causes lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and skin cancer. Alternatives are highly recommended, such as using starch powders instead of talcum powder.

The issue with mineral oils is that it may lead to skin irritation or worse, skin problems such as rashes and acne.
Instead of selecting cosmetic or skin care products that contain mineral oil, it is advised that a better choice of petroleum is utilized such as rosehip and evening primrose oils which helps skin nutrition and maintains skin elasticity and non-greasy at the same time.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate:
SLS are also popularly used ingredients in shampoos, soap, and toothpaste for its foam creation properties.
