8 Foundation Brands With Talc Concerns (And 3 That Are Clean)

⚠️ Johnson and Johnson proposed paying over $8 BILLION to settle talc lawsuits. The same ingredient is in the foundation you apply to your entire face every morning.

The FDA found asbestos contamination in some talc-containing cosmetics. Talc and asbestos form in similar conditions and are often found together in nature.

In this video, I examine 8 popular foundation brands containing talc and what the ongoing lawsuits and FDA findings mean for consumers. Then I reveal 3 foundation brands formulated without talc entirely.

This is not about claiming these products are dangerous. They comply with current regulations. This is about information so you can make informed decisions.
