The parochial outlook towards beauty, as propagated by ancient and modern culture, has long being exploited as a means of making money by the right minds.

The last two decades garnered much attention in documenting the use of popular cosmetic and hygiene products and their association with cancer. A number of cases filed against industry giants in effect to these claims also made big media headlines, waking people up to the unknown health hazards posed by cosmetic and hygiene products. One of the most prominent news was the accusation filed again a well known brand’s talcum powder, by several women claiming that they got ovarian cancer after years of using their product. These cases stirred the much anticipated alarm for one simple fact: talc, the ingredient that the victims’ families argued caused their cancer, is an indispensable product in most households. It is an additive in many cosmetic and body powders, including those products specifically marketed for use in neonatal skin care.
