This talcum powder contains talc, which is classified by IARC as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) for perineal use, and is associated with ovarian cancer. The product also includes an undisclosed 'Fragrance' blend, a common source of allergens that can cause skin sensitization or irritation for individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies. Due to these concerns, particularly the presence of talc and the lack of fragrance transparency, this product is not recommended for regular use, especially in sensitive areas.

Talc
Talc can be naturally contaminated with asbestos, a known carcinogen. Perineal use of talcum powder has been linked to ovarian cancer in multiple studies and class-action lawsuits. Johnson & Johnson discontinued its talc-based baby powder globally in 2023. Prefer cornstarch-based alternatives.

Talc: regulation, sources and other products →Fragrance
"Fragrance" or "parfum" is a catch-all term that can conceal a blend of hundreds of undisclosed chemicals, including known allergens, sensitisers, and potential endocrine disruptors. The EU now mandates disclosure of 82 specific fragrance allergens. People with fragrance sensitivity, asthma, or contact dermatitis should prefer fragrance-free products.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EU Regulation 2023/1545; IFRA
Fragrance: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Talc is classified by IARC as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) for perineal use, with associations to ovarian cancer. Inhalation of fine particles is also a concern.
The product contains 'Fragrance' without specific disclosure of individual fragrance allergens, which can be a common cause of skin sensitization and allergic reactions for sensitive individuals.
Claim check
Front-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.
The claim "ULTRA SENSUAL" is a subjective marketing term that cannot be verified or disproven by the provided ingredient list or any other objective information on the label.
The ingredient list confirms the presence of both "Talc" and "Fragrance", supporting the claim of "FRAGRANT TALC".
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
