Frequently asked questions
- Is soil minerals safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications or SCCS/CIR safety assessments exist for the generic term “soil minerals.” No peer‑reviewed reproductive toxicity data for a generic mixture called “soil minerals” were identified in authoritative sources; therefore default hazard/mechanism = 0. Topical cosmetic use of inert mineral particulates (clays, silicas, oxides) generally shows negligible dermal systemic absorption, supporting e=0 (sources checked: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised entry), CIR library (no monograph), PubMed search yielded no relevant reproductive data for a generic “soil minerals”).
- Is soil minerals safe while breastfeeding?
- Same rationale as pregnancy: no specific reproductive/lactation hazard identified for the generic ingredient name; dermal absorption from mineral particulates used cosmetically is generally negligible, indicating minimal exposure to nursing infants.
- Is soil minerals safe for baby skin?
- Hazard/mechanism remain 0 in absence of specific data. Exposure score increased by +1 (to 1) for infants 0–3 yr because immature skin barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight make low but measurable absorption more plausible for particulate/mineral ingredients. This assumes typical cosmetic topical use and does not account for possible contaminant metals.
