Frequently asked questions
- Is barium sulfate safe for baby skin?
- Barium sulfate is poorly soluble and not appreciably absorbed through intact skin; therefore infant dermal exposure from cosmetics is expected to result in negligible systemic uptake. Per scoring rules, adult exposure is negligible so baby exposure remains negligible in absence of evidence of absorption or infant-specific effects (sources: PubChem GHS; CosIng; absence of reproductive/dermal absorption data in PubMed).
- Is barium sulfate safe for newborns?
