Frequently asked questions

Is maris sal safe for baby skin?
There is no evidence that topical Maris Sal causes developmental effects in infants. Sea salt is a mixture of inorganic ions (mainly NaCl plus other minerals) and is not known to penetrate skin to produce systemic reproductive/toxic effects; I found no infant‑specific toxicity studies. Reasonable caution for mechanical abrasion (exfoliation) and skin irritation on fragile infant skin is advised, but no reproductive/teratogenic concern was found.
