Frequently asked questions
- Is magnesium myristate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety concerns were identified for magnesium myristate, and no peer‑reviewed reproductive toxicity data indicate hazard; myristic acid is a common fatty acid/emollient with no known teratogenicity (sources: ECHA C&L search — no harmonised classification; PubChem; general cosmetic ingredient listings). Topical cosmetic use is expected to give negligible systemic absorption.
- Is magnesium myristate safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific hazard in available regulatory/chemical databases; mechanism of reproductive toxicity not identified. Systemic exposure from normal topical use is expected to be negligible, so transfer to breast milk is not anticipated (sources: PubChem; CosIng/ECHA information showing use as an emollient/functional ingredient).
- Is magnesium myristate safe for baby skin?
- No developmental or infant-specific toxicity data found; hazard and mechanism remain absent in available authoritative sources. Exposure score increased by +1 for infant skin relative to adult because magnesium myristate is not completely non‑absorbable and infant skin has higher per‑kg exposure and immature barrier, so dermal absorption potential is considered low but measurable for 0–3 yr (sources: general dermal absorption principles; CosIng/PubChem entries for magnesium myristate).
