Ceiling fxture insulation safety?

grandmum

Kinda silly question:

I was changing a bulb in my ceiling light and noticed that the foil and insulation sits kinda close to the 75 watt bulb. I bent it further back some to sit a little farther from the bulb but its still about 2 1.2 3" away.

How is this safe? Is there a concern that the insulation might burn? Im asuming the insulation and foil are not flamable.

the fixure is rated for 100 watts, I use 75.
