Ceramic Microspheres (Magnesium Silicate)

Ceramic Microspheres (Magnesium Silicate) is another name for talc, right? I've been trying to find out more information on it, but haven't had much luck.

Talc is comprised mostly of magnesium silicate, but also has aluminum silicate and can be contaminated with asbestos fibers, which is why it gets a bad rep. The ceramic microspheres are made in a lab not mined, so you don't have to worry about contaminates like asbestos.
Skin Deep rates talc a 3 and magnesium silicate a 1(the lower the safer) for reference.
