Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is proposing to require testing of talc-containing cosmetic products using standardized testing methods for detecting and identifying asbestos that may be present as a contaminant in talc. We are also proposing corresponding adulteration provisions. Asbestos is a potential contaminant in talc, which is used in certain cosmetic products, and is a known human carcinogen. This proposed rule, if finalized, will help protect users of talc-containing cosmetic products from harmful exposure to asbestos given the potential for contamination of these products.
