For me every time I wear I love the smell of the diaper the wipes and the baby powder. Baby powder has hit the headlines about causing cancer and we got to question is it safe.
First we got to look at why baby powder could cause cancer and that's because of asbestos. Asbestos and the mineral talc or talcum usually come hand-in-hand when it gets mined. There is usually very small traces of asbestos but in many cases it gets processed out but here's the catch like Johnson Johnson one of the bigest manufacturers of baby powder has recalled some again because of asbestos in it. See link.
For me even though the risk would be extremely low I don't know if I want to take that risk. So if you can't trust your baby powder to be safe what can we use there are many home remedies that will work like cornstarch.

Talcum Powder and Cancer
Talcum powder is made from talc, a mineral composed mainly of the elements magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. It is widely used in cosmetic products such as baby powder and adult body and facial powders.
