Frequently asked questions

Is calcium sulfate safe for baby skin?
No hazard or mechanistic evidence for reproductive/toxic effects specific to infants. Exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin because while calcium sulfate is poorly absorbed dermally (negligible for adults), infants have a less mature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio, making low but measurable exposure possible though no toxic effects are documented.
