I do care, and I no longer buy products with talc.

I do not use powder as a body product.  I'm not concerned with the small amount that is used in make-up.

I don't care at all. I use powder daily, but talc isn't used anymore as an ingredient. I'm not concerned about it in cosmetics.

If i haven't had a problem with the ingredient, then I will use it.  Don't look for it but don't eliminate a product because of it.

No I'm not concerned about talc in cosmetics  because it's not free and floating in the air the way a body powder used be.  I haven't seen any brand of body powder that contains talc for several years.

Re: Do you care if Talc is in your make up ?

I don't like talc in my translucent powders or powder foundations as it seems to dry me out.  Don't mind it in a blush though.  Now I am trying to make purchases that are talc free but I do have some blushes that I like a lot that have talc in them but I'm not willing to get rid of them.

I find talc to be very drying on my skin.  Tried Laura G's and it really made me dry.

I do not care. I’ve done my research and talked to a few doctors and chemists. It is not a problem.

I won't buy makeup or body products with talc in them.  Anything you put on your face, liquid or powder, will come off and be breathed in.  So it's a big no for me.

Re: Do you care if Talc is in your make up ?

Yes I do care, and I have not purchased makeup with talc in it for years. I'm floored that companies continue to add talc to makeup, knowing that it's a carcinogen with the court findings.

 

By 1980 (or b4), I only used baby powder that was made from corn starch, not talc. There were warnings in reports back then. In summer, I used to put a dash of baby powder made with corn starch in my shoes.

And I never used any baby powder with talc on my child.
