Frequently asked questions
- Is magnesium myristate safe for baby skin?
- No developmental or infant-specific toxicity data found; hazard and mechanism remain absent in available authoritative sources. Exposure score increased by +1 for infant skin relative to adult because magnesium myristate is not completely non‑absorbable and infant skin has higher per‑kg exposure and immature barrier, so dermal absorption potential is considered low but measurable for 0–3 yr (sources: general dermal absorption principles; CosIng/PubChem entries for magnesium myristate).
