If you click search option you will get lots of white stars formulations.

If you are desire particular effect then post more information on what exactly you wants to do.

My favourite white star formula in the non-metal fuelled category is:

62 % potassium nitrate
18 % antimony trisulfide
18 % sulfur
  3 % dextrin

It might be too quick burning for some applications but I guess increasing the amount of fuels should reduce the burn rate without making it less white.

Just simple white peony star effect is acieved using Barium nitrate potassium nitrate sulphur magnelium dextrin.

Or by using fine flake aluminium and magnelium together.

Antimony trisulphide is toxic.

Antimony trisulfide is no big deal in fireworking when it comes to toxicity because of its insolubility.

Just wear a simple dust mask and you will be ok.

Its combustion products may be another thing but it has been used for over 200 years in pyrotechnics without causing much trouble to the workers and spectators.

A simple perchlorate magnalium star without PVC or chlorine donor would burn in a White flame Better with Copper and barium compound inside,

Here in our place we have no permission to use KCLO4.

Potassium perchlorate produces excellent white star effects but we are limited to nitrates only.
