Frequently asked questions
- Is sodium monofluorophosphate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive classification for sodium monofluorophosphate (ECHA Annex VI). Regulatory/industry sources treat it as a topical/oral fluoride source in toothpaste (CosIng, CIR), and there is no robust evidence that MFP is a human teratogen; systemic fluoride can cross the placenta in general (peer-reviewed literature), but cosmetic topical use leads to low systemic exposure when used as intended (PubChem, CIR).
- Is sodium monofluorophosphate safe while breastfeeding?
- No harmonised reproductive or lactation hazard (ECHA Annex VI). Limited data indicate fluoride is excreted at low levels into milk in general, but cosmetic topical/oral-care use of sodium monofluorophosphate gives low systemic exposure when used properly (CosIng, PubChem, peer-reviewed literature).
- Is sodium monofluorophosphate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of specific developmental/dermatologic hazard for sodium monofluorophosphate (ECHA Annex VI, no SCCS/CIR repro flags). Dermal/topical cosmetic absorption in adults is negligible for typical formulations, but immature infant skin has higher uptake potential so exposure score increased by +1 (CosIng, PubChem); no infant-specific adverse data found.
