Not to worry: the talc is inert and should not cause any issues.

Talcum powder: As a general rule baby powder is not recommended because the particles can get into the child's lungs and cause breathing problems. For your immediate problem flush the child's eye with tap water. No harm should be done to the baby's eyes
