Product Information

This has lead to the company finding themselves the midst of several legal battles stemming from the claim that use of their product can potentially lead to ovarian and lung cancer.

Skin concerns: Babies with known skin conditions, such as eczema, require products tailored to meet their needs. Look for products specifying that they are suitable for sensitive skin. We spoke with experts to get a fuller picture about the risks associated with using baby powders, because we believe that you should make informed decisions for yourselves and your children. Gina Posner, M.D., pediatrician at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, California, tells Best Products, "There is some worry that talcum (which contains asbestos) could lead to ovarian cancer. In general, it is just best to avoid all powders, but if you really feel that it's necessary, I would use plain cornstarch on the diaper area because it's nontoxic and safe."And she’s not the only doctor with concerns about the use of baby powder for children. Daniel Ganjian, M.D., pediatrician at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California, notes that the American Academy of Pediatrics cautions that no parent should use any powder on their baby, saying that “any fine powders can be inhaled and cause lung injury.”

Baby powder made from cosmetic talc is one of JOHNSON’S ® oldest products and a longtime part of everyday baby care. Extensive research shows the safe use of the talc in our JOHNSON’S ® baby powder. Here you will find further detail to explain the science and safety behind JOHNSON’S ® baby powder. Burt’s Bees Baby 100% Natural Dusting Powder is a finely milled powder with an all-natural, gentle fragrance that’s perfect for keeping babies’ bottom soft and dry.

Baby powder

With all baby powders, there is a risk of inhalation. Use caution when using baby powder with infants by avoiding their face and using small amounts. What can I use instead of baby powder? Here's the truth: Talcum powder, used in most traditional baby powder formulas, is generally not recommended for continuous use on anyone, including your baby, because of long-term health complications that could potentially arise. That's the no-BS version — even though the link between talcum powder and cancer is still largely unclear.

However, if you’re dead set on using a powder, Ganjian says that you should “pour it into your hand while your hand is far away from your baby’s head. Then, put it on your child slowly so that the powder does not go much into the air around your baby’s mouth and nose.” JOHNSON’S ® baby powder does not contain asbestos, a substance classified as cancer-causing. The talc used in all our global production is carefully selected and processed to be asbestos-free, which is confirmed by regular testing to confirm purity. Like all our products, JOHNSON’S ® baby powder contains only ingredients that have been fully evaluated by scientific and medical experts to ensure they are safe to use. Please be aware that there is a risk of your little one developing a rash from the use of these powders. Ingredients: Organic tapioca starch - Corn starch - Kaolin clay - Organic Aloe vera - pure essential oils (not in the unscented)
