All the body powders I see on the shelves nowadays claim to be talc free.  I'm guessing cosmetic powders contain minute amounts, if any.  It's the least of my worries.

I can't imagine the small amount being used in a cosmetic product would be deadly.  I am also not concerned.

@San Antonio Gal I agree.  I've been using it for about six months now.  I'm not going to worry about it.

If you used a diaphragm for birth control back in the day, the instructions said to dust it with talcom powder after washing and drying it. Of course the next time you used it you were basically inserting talcom powder residue into your body. 😮 I suspect that's where many the ovarian cancer cases came from. And yes, I used a diaphragm.🫤

My best friends in the world when I was growing up were my mom and my cousin. Twenty years ago both of them ended up with uterine cancer, my mom survied it but my cousin did not. All my baby powder immediately went in the garbage. I keep a very small container of baby powder in my kitchen to aid my putting on disposable gloves for cooking.

This news came out over 25 years ago, but it pertained to talc use in the panties and female genitals, not to makup. but I have stopped using talc in makeup since it can be very drying to the skin and look cakey. Stick to cornstarch in the fem area. No Geller for me except lippies

@San Antonio Gal.  Never heard of "death by face powder".  I'm not even slightly concerned.
