Why don Ecco Bella cosmetics contain talc?
Similar in chemical composition to asbestos, talc is highly migratory in body tissues and has now been classified to be a ‘known carcinogen’. Talc based powders have been linked to ovarian cancer, as they can easily work their way up the reproductive tract. As such, it has even been recently removed from children’s crayons. Why voluntarily put it on your skin? Talc is a base used by most cosmetics companies for eyeshadow, blush and face powders. Ecco Bella has developed an exclusive formula that replaces talc with mica and flowerwax coated pigments for a superior, silky, long-lasting feel.
