Frequently asked questions

Is magnesium gluconate safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data and no mechanistic concern identified (h=0, m=0). Exposure: dermal absorption from topical use is expected to be low in adults but infant skin is more permeable—so exposure score increased by +1 for baby (e=1). No evidence of irritation/allergenicity specific to infants in regulatory listings reviewed (sources: CosIng, ECHA registration, PubChem, EWG).
