Could use cornflower instead of talc. Can you use this oil with warm wax or just hot wax?

Okay. Lets just all kill ourselves now and be done with it. Saves being exposed to all the things that might kill us....for goodness sake!

When I did my reflexology training in the UK back in 2005 we were banned from using talc but told to use cornstarch based products.
Here in Australia, Johnsons & Johnsons have a cornstarch 'talc' which I now use for my clients when I feel I need talc opposed to oil, ie when I've got a sweaty one! Yes it is more expensive but at least it is a guilt free option if you particuarly like your 'talc'.

They told us to use talc at college.

Im doomed, i use talc lots and lots on myself. I love the stuff. Good enough for baby then its good enough for me.
If it was a serious health risk surely it would be removed from the shops.

Apparently everything can kill nowadays... Which may be true, but if i listened to all the theorys i would be scared to leave my house.

Can I just ask which oil, could you use baby oil for instance? Also is it just for use with the Berins Wax or other makes. Thankyou!!

You can use oil under any wax line. I use the Berins Jasmine oil, but where I used to work, we used a generic light massage oil with Tea tree oil in it.
