Frequently asked questions

Is magnesium/potassium/silicon/fluoride/hydroxide/oxide safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism remain unflagged (no classification or specific data). Exposure score increased by +1 for infants because baby skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier—while adult dermal absorption of inorganic oxides/hydroxides/fluoride salts is generally negligible, a conservative slight increase in potential exposure is applied. No infant‑specific developmental toxicity data were identified.
