When it comes to the safety of our cosmetics then about the only credible source would be the FDA. That agency is responsible for keeping us safe from potentially harmful ingredients in our food and cosmetics. Without the FDA things would be a lot more dangerous. I trust that the agency is doing their job and that I can use cosmetics without concerns when it comes to cosmetic ingredients. If the FDA has not recalled a product I use then I can assume it's safe to use. @LuvmyLab 

ETA - What it all comes down to is making a personal choice. It's really what matters the most.

I don't know what brand it is but I've seen the Makeover Guy use a product like this in his makeovers on more mature women.  I never knew the product existed till then.  This is on his list of recommended products.  $47   Eight colors.

Joan Rivers always discussed this issue.  I'd look at her line.

At one point there was a class action lawsuit that linked the use of talc in dusting powders used "down there" to ovarian cancer.  I don't use powders down there so I'm not concered about talc in other products.  The top of my head is about as far away as you can get from "down there".

A lot of places I think replaced talc in their products with cornstarch.

Although it has not been proven that talc causes ovarian cancer, a Minnesota court did award 22 women that had used Johnson and Johnson baby powder and got ovarian cancer a judgement of 2.1 billion dollars.  In 2020 Johnson and Johnson stopped selling baby powder with talc.  It now contains corn starch.
