SanTalc H108 is a cosmetic-grade talc meeting stringent specifications for heavy metals and microbiological content. Critically, it is certified as “Not Detected” for asbestos, addressing the top safety and regulatory concern for both formulators and consumers. This high level of purity enables confident use across face, eye, and lip applications.
