1. Asbestos Contamination: Talc may be contaminated with asbestos, a known carcinogen, due to their close proximity in the earth. Careful selection of talc mining sites and thorough testing of the ore are essential to prevent contamination. 2. FDA Testing: The FDA has conducted multiple rounds of testing on talc-containing cosmetics to assess the presence of asbestos. The results of these tests are available on the FDA website. 3. Diatomaceous earth is not poisonous and does not need to be eaten to be effective. It causes insects to dry out and die by absorbing the oils and fats from the cuticle of the insect's exoskeleton. 4.
