My scalp is so shiny after applying rogaine. Is it OK to use talcum powder to cut down on the shine?

Excellent question! No, you should NOT use talcum powder. Why? Because talc is closely related to the potent carcinogen asbestos. Talc particles have been shown to cause tumors in the ovaries and lungs of cancer victims.





Talc poses a health risk when exposed to the lungs. Talc miners have shown higher rates of lung cancer and other respiratory illnesses from exposure to industrial grade talc, which contains dangerous silica and asbestos. The common household hazard posed by talc is inhalation of baby powder by infants. Since the early 1980s, records show that several thousand infants each year have died or become seriously ill following accidental inhalation of baby powder.





So, no, I wouldn't use talcum powder. Perhaps you should try corn starch? Or you could use something like Bare Minerals powder which is supposed to be talcum powder free.My scalp is so shiny after applying rogaine. Is it OK to use talcum powder to cut down on the shine?
