Frequently asked questions

Is tourmaline safe during pregnancy?
Tourmaline (CAS 1317-93-7) is a naturally occurring mineral/borosilicate used as a particulate/pigment in cosmetics. There is no harmonised CLP classification for reproductive toxicity (ECHA Annex VI), no CIR or SCCS safety finding indicating reproductive hazard, and no peer‑reviewed evidence of teratogenicity or reproductive effects; topical dermal exposure from insoluble mineral particulates is expected to give negligible systemic exposure (PubChem, CosIng).
Is tourmaline safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicate reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity; as an insoluble mineral particulate used topically, systemic absorption is expected to be negligible and thus breast milk exposure is unlikely (PubChem, CosIng).
Is tourmaline safe for baby skin?
Tourmaline is a particulate mineral with minimal dermal absorption; absent infant‑specific data, there is no evidence of developmental or skin toxicity in infants 0–3 years. Given its insoluble particulate nature, increased per‑kg exposure of infants does not translate into higher systemic uptake, so exposure score remains negligible (ECHA/CosIng/PubChem).
How does VeriMom score tourmaline?
VeriMom scores tourmaline at 100/100 (no known risks) based on EU CosIng status, ECHA hazard classifications, and peer-reviewed PubMed studies. Our scoring pipeline is fully transparent.
