I was thinking it was only a matter of time before we couldn't use it any more. It has a cancer risk associated with it.
I stopped using it last year and find the pre wax oil much better to use xxx

It's a very light oil and you only need a tiny amount. I just find it creates a better barrier between the skin. I find it doesn't make the skin look so pink xxx

This should explain all. It's a very small risk but worth considering. Women warned of talcum powder cancer risk - Telegraph

Sounds like a miniscule risk to me . . anyway, how often does the average client have a Brazilian done in the salon? every 4 weeks? every 8 weeks? once or twice a year?
And then again, for how many months/years of her life?
And how near would the talc be put to her 'private parts' (as the Telegraph delicately puts it)? Where EXACTLY was it used according to the article anyway?
The point I am trying to make is that there are too many variables involved when it comes to waxing, for it to be a 'risk' to all clients, when the articles in the newspapers state that the risk - even if women are using talc everyday - is only raised slightly. Even the American doctor quoted in the article admits the risk is tiny.
I think it's ridiculous to have some blanket rule which says talc must not be used. Whose ruling is this anyway? And is it based on this ONE article?
Other research should certainly be taken into account when making such a sweeping decision.
Can anyone out there enlighten me??

But it the same with deodorant. This has a risk of cancer too as most of them contain aluminium.
Guess the best thing to do ladies is contact your insurance companies to see what they have to say on the subject. I'm just choosing not to use it, just to be on the safe side xxx

There is no scientific proof that talc can cause cancer. Studies have been carried out but these studies were flawed and the link is tenuous.
People have been putting talc on babies bottoms for years and i think if they were really worried about it then they would have withdrawn it by now!
Studies showed that an apple a day was good for us-then they said they contained too much sugar.
Our teenagers are overweight because they eat too much junk food yet my parents and grandparents ate dripping sandwiches and starchy food and guess what-they weren't overweight!
Too much emphasis is put on studies that have no scientific basis.
