No.

I’m not very concerned about it. It’s something you have to inhale, and the reports of issues have come from people who were using large amounts of baby powder and basically sprinkling it on, which aerosolizes it if you’ve ever seen a cloud of baby powder (and note, this link between the 2 was not well proven and is considered iffy at best by most physicians) When you’re using a product like a face powder for example, you’re likely applying a small amount with a brush, or a sponge of some sort. I’ve never aerosolized anything like they used to with baby powder, and chances are you’re not either.

In addition, you actually have to inhale a LOT of something for it to really get down into your lungs and into mucosa. Even in the best of circumstances (think of using an albuterol inhaler with a spacer), <1% of what you're inhaling gets down into the lungs. I'm more worried about things being inhaled a bit into your nose and absorbed from there. But that's why we have nose hair. (This is why you should trim, NOT wax your nose hair, despite what people do on YouTube)
So, don't make big clouds of products, and don't huff them. It will be ok 🙂

Finally, in order to find this contamination, a very large number of samples needed to be processed in a very sensitive way. Asbestos is found naturally in our environment already.
