Frequently asked questions

Is topaz safe for baby skin?

There are no infant-specific toxicity or dermal absorption studies for topaz. Topaz is an insoluble mineral particle with negligible dermal absorption; therefore hazard and mechanism remain 0. Because the ingredient appears to be effectively non‑absorbed when used as a topical mineral/pigment, baby exposure score is kept at 0 (no infant‑specific evidence requiring an increase). If formulations use micronized/nano topaz powder or include penetration enhancers, exposure could be higher (data gap).
