Tire talc is still used on light aircraft tire tubes. I stocked up on a bunch, but it still seems to be widely available. Maybe it's fundamentally a different product than the J&J baby stuff...?

It likely has a bunch of asbestos in it, as industrial talc tends to have to most asbestos in it. I would wear a mask when using it.

Asbestos requires extensive exposure for any significant cancer risk. It’s a bit worse than fine silica.
This isn’t plutonium we’re talking about.
