SAFETY & INGREDIENTS

Cosmetic talc is, and always has been, safe for use, and that is the most important guiding principle for every product we offer. Baby Powder made from cosmetic talc is one of JOHNSON’S^® most trusted products and a longtime part of baby care rituals. The safety of cosmetic talc is based on a long history of safe use and decades of research by independent researchers and scientific review boards. Cosmetic talc is accepted as safe for use in cosmetic and personal care products in the U.S., the European Union, Canada and many other countries around the world. Our sources for talc undergo comprehensive qualification and are routinely evaluated using a sophisticated battery of tests designed to ensure quality, safety, and compliance with all global standards.

Talc is a naturally-occurring mineral that’s been used in many body powders for generations. It can be found in all kinds of cosmetic and care items, including baby powder, blush and foundation. Talc has been a popular ingredient for many years and has been scientifically shown to be safe to use.

Shampoos and cleansers often contain trace, or very tiny levels of a compound known as 1,4 dioxane. This compound is a byproduct of the process that makes cleansers mild and non-irritating. 1,4 dioxane is also found naturally in some foods.

The levels of trace 1,4-dioxane in our baby products have been reduced to what is currently the lowest reliably measurable level, well below established safe levels.

We do NOT conduct animal testing on any of our cosmetic products except in the rare situation where governments or laws require it. We’ll never compromise on the quality or safety of the products we provide for you.

Kenvue total usage of palm oil, the vast majority of which is in the form of derivatives, represents about 0.1% of the global production of palm oil. While we don’t purchase any palm oil or its associated derivatives directly from palm oil producers, we expect our downstream suppliers to uphold our Responsible Palm Oil Sourcing Criteria to respect workers’ rights and to protect peatlands, high conservation value areas and high carbon stock forests, among other expectations. We’ve also partnered with The Forest Trust (TFT) since 2014 to ensure conformance to our criteria. We report our actions and progress publicly on The Forest Trust’s Transparency Hub. Recognizing that there is more work that must be done to help shape the path towards making palm oil more sustainable, we are committed to using our voice and buying power to help drive the adoption of responsible practices worldwide, and are active members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, which works to drive action on this front.
