Frequently asked questions

Is magnesium carbonate safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification on ECHA Annex VI and no SCCS/CIR safety assessment flagging reproductive risk. Regulatory and database sources (ECHA dossiers / PubChem / CosIng) report magnesium carbonate as an inert inorganic salt with low acute toxicity and no reported teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity studies indicating hazard, so default scoring is 0. (Sources: ECHA Annex VI absence of harmonised H360/H361; PubChem; CosIng.)
Is magnesium carbonate safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity; no harmonised classifications or CIR/SCCS concerns. As an insoluble/inorganic salt with negligible systemic toxicity in typical cosmetic use, breastfeeding hazard and mechanism are scored 0. (Sources: ECHA registration information / PubChem / CosIng.)
Is magnesium carbonate safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no infant-specific reproductive/toxicity data or regulatory flags (h=0, m=0). Exposure: magnesium carbonate is an inorganic, poorly soluble salt with negligible dermal penetration in adults (adult e=0) but, per guidance, infant exposure is increased by one category due to higher surface-area-to-weight and immature barrier, so baby e=1. No infant-specific adverse data found. (Sources: ECHA dossiers / PubChem / CosIng; EWG notes low hazard.)
How does VeriMom score magnesium carbonate?
