Default Re: Talcum Powder

Just a heads-up for anyone still using talc: you might want to check out the FDA Warning & Recall related to talcum powder. Some products were found to contain asbestos, which is why the shift to cornstarch-based powders became more common, not just for babies but across the board.

That said, if you're using it strictly for tires or tubes, there are still non-cosmetic grade talc options online (as others mentioned), but it's worth being aware of why it's gotten harder to find the pure stuff in stores.

Better safe than sorry.
