-i know it is mild than the talcum powder but what are the other qualities?What is the difference between baby powder to a ordinary talcum powder?
Talc is a mineral, magnesium sulfate originally used in lanterns because in formed strings and absorbed moisture, It is not good for for babies. No powder should be used on babies because it can easily get into their lungs. My baby is 33 and I went with my mother's old remedy of corn starch because it absorbs moisture better than any powder, it's natural, and not harmful. Only use it on the baby's bottom though, It also prevents diaper rash better than any powder will. That's just my opinion and it worked for all my babies. Best advice you can get is probably from your grandmother. Some of the oldest remedies or usages are the best ones now.What is the difference between baby powder to a ordinary talcum powder?
Baby powder is not good for babies.
It can affect the baby's respiratory system and talcum powder may be linked to some forms of cancer.
Don't use it!
The intensity of the fragrance is less in baby powder to protect the tender nostrills of the child: the aroma is stronger in talcum powder other than baby powder!
Talcum powder is primarily made up of talc which is harmful to baby's lungs when it is inhaled (even worse lots of talc is contaminated with asbestos fibers). Most baby powders these days are made up of mostly corn starch which is much less harmful when inhaled...although you should still be careful to not make a cloud of powder when using it.
the perfumes used are of suoerior quality and therfor less prone to allergy.
use ordinary corn starch. the only difference in baby powder is the smell. talc is a bad chemical.
If you going to use baby powder make sure it's the kind that has no talc in it. Different companies do put out powders that are made out of corn starch. These are healthier and I have found it cures diaper rash a lot quicker, even more than the creams, also! Good luck!
Baby powder wines to much! Go with the talcum power. It'smuch more agreeable.
All come in talc or starch.
It may be in perfume or coarseness of the powder read the contains before purchase.

ReplyDeleteWhere do you get this completely misleading information?
All talc entering Western markets, regardless of its end use is very carefully monitored to ensure that it is free of any possible contamination with fibrous minerals such as asbestos which is a known carcinogen.
If talc is such a "bad chemical" as you claim why is used in chewing gum, tooth paste, pills, plastic containers for foodstuffs. It is also a major constituent of wall paints and is used for coating paper to give it that desired glossy finish. Talc is chemically inert and non-toxic. It doesn't react with acids of alkalis and is insoluble in water.
Your fears and claims are completely unfounded!
