Frequently asked questions
- Is calcium carbonate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive classification in ECHA Annex VI and no credible animal or human data indicating reproductive or teratogenic effects for calcium carbonate (CAS 471-34-1). It is an inert, poorly water-soluble mineral commonly used as a filler/abrasive; systemic exposure from topical cosmetic use is negligible (CosIng, PubChem, ECHA registration information).
- Is calcium carbonate safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-related toxicity; calcium carbonate is not known to concentrate in breast milk from topical exposure. Oral calcium salts are commonly used in pregnancy/breastfeeding as supplements without teratogenic signal, but topical cosmetic exposure results in negligible systemic uptake (PubChem, ECHA registration dossiers, CosIng).
- Is calcium carbonate safe for baby skin?
- No data indicating developmental or skin-specific toxicity in infants. As an insoluble, inert particulate used as a filler/abrasive, dermal absorption is negligible; therefore exposure to systemic compartments for babies (0–3 yr) from routine cosmetic application is expected to be negligible. Local effects (abrasion/drying) are possible with abrasive use, but no infant-specific systemic hazard data were identified (CosIng, EWG, PubChem).
