Frequently asked questions
- Is magnesium oxide safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive classification on ECHA Annex VI and no SCCS/CIR safety opinion indicating reproductive hazard; magnesium oxide is an inorganic, poorly soluble oxide with no documented human teratogenicity or endocrine activity in the reviewed sources (ECHA Annex VI; PubChem; CosIng).
- Is magnesium oxide safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity in regulatory/peer-reviewed sources; topical dermal absorption is negligible for this insoluble oxide, so systemic exposure through topical use is not expected (PubChem; ECHA registration dossiers; CosIng).
- Is magnesium oxide safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant-specific reproductive/toxicity data identified and no harmonised flags. Exposure: adult topical absorption is negligible for insoluble MgO, but because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and a less mature barrier, exposure rating increased by +1 (per instruction) to reflect potentially higher (but still low) exposure (PubChem; CosIng).
