Manufacturers began testing (and certifying) their ingredients; talc labeled asbestos-free is now used in a wide variety of personal care powders and cosmetics. But many consumers are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.safecosmetics.org\/get-the-facts\/chemicals-of-concern\/talc\/\" target=\"_blank\">still wary<\/a> of possible asbestos links. Although the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fda.gov\/Cosmetics\/ProductsIngredients\/Ingredients\/ucm293184.htm\" target=\"_blank\">FDA has done small studies<\/a> that posit talc is indeed asbestos-free in the U.S., the agency suggests more thorough research needs to be done to prove those claims to consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Talc concerns spiked again this spring when Johnson &amp; Johnson was ordered to pay $127 million in damages in <a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2016\/05\/03\/news\/companies\/johnson-and-johnson-cancer-talcum-powder\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">two court cases<\/a> brought by the families of women who died of ovarian cancer\u2014and who also used the company\u2019s talc-based products for decades. 1,200 similar suits are still in process. The plaintiffs\u2019 lawyers theorized that talc particles can travel into the reproductive system and cause inflammation that eventually leads to cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Attorneys for the plaintiffs presented jurors with a study<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4820665\/\" target=\"_blank\"> linking talc use to higher ovarian cancer rates<\/a>. (The lead author is also a paid consultant for the plaintiffs\u2019 team.) But according to respected organizations like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cancer.org\/cancer\/cancercauses\/othercarcinogens\/athome\/talcum-powder-and-cancer\" target=\"_blank\">The American Cancer Society<\/a>, the totality of scientific research on the subject is far from conclusive.<\/p>\n<p>Reporting on the lawsuits, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/business\/la-fi-talcum-powder-cancer-20160503-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">L.A.

The Cosmetic Compliance Summit\u2019s recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cosmeticscompliance.com\/taboo-cosmetic-ingredients-and-their-alternatives-mc\" target=\"_blank\">report on taboo ingredients<\/a> encourages formulators to pay attention to consumers\u2019 concerns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany consumers are beginning to read up on what exactly is in their products, and how they are tested and produced,\u201d the report says. \u201cCompanies which are not adapting to these trends will run the risk of losing market share and possibly hurting their public image.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to consumer worries, formulators may also want to avoid talc to increase their products\u2019 global reach: <a href=\"http:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/growth\/tools-databases\/cosing\/index.cfm?fuseaction=search.details_v2&amp;id=28310\" target=\"_blank\">talc is now restricted in the EU<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Trending Talc Alternatives<\/h3>\n<p>So what alternatives are formulators searching for?
