09 Dec 2022 --- The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) contracted AMA Analytical Services to test talc-containing cosmetics for the presence of asbestos and has released the results of the 2022 samples, deeming that asbestos was not detected in all 50 submitted products tested. Concerns about talc laced with asbestos have been proliferating since the 1970s; however, new tests are showing that talc-based cosmetics are becoming increasingly trustworthy.
