| No, benzene was specifically what I was thinking of to the point that I assumed it was so well known that it wasn't question as being a thing any more. Just like asbestos in baby powder |

| ▲ | Nursie 3 days ago | parent [-] | | That’s thankfully no longer really a thing - the world has realised that there is no such thing as asbestos-free talc, so baby powder is now mostly corn-starch AFAICT. | | |
| ▲ | dylan604 3 days ago | parent [-] | | You mean in the US, right? Because J&J were known to continue to sell their talc based products internationally. | | |
| ▲ | Nursie 3 days ago | parent [-] | | It’s certainly stopped here in Aus too, and there was a UK documentary about it a while ago implying it’s known there as well. Beyond that, no clue. |

| If you drive gas car there’s far more benzene around you than in sunscreen. |

| ▲ | dylan604 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Okay, and? If you can’t see a difference in benzene as a byproduct vs an ingredient people lather in their skin and rub in sold as a way to protect against skin cancer while giving you chances of a different cancer as something totally different, then your being deliberately obtuse and not contributing to this conversation in any meaningful way. | | |
| ▲ | dzhiurgis 3 days ago | parent [-] | | My point is benzene is all around you. You willingly breathe it vs accidental trace amounts in a vital product. |
