Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Calcium Phosphate?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 0-6 months (newborns and infants), calcium phosphate used on the skin is very low risk. It is an inert mineral and is not linked to cancer or growth problems. The main small risk is irritation to skin, eyes, or breathing if dust or powder is inhaled.
✅What to Do
Use products made for infants that list this ingredient rather than applying loose powders or concentrated forms. Do a tiny patch test on the baby's inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Keep the product away from the baby's mouth, nose, and eyes. Do not use on broken, irritated, or inflamed skin. If you see redness, rash, swelling, or if the baby coughs or has trouble breathing after exposure, stop use and contact your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Regulatory and review sources note it is generally safe for limited uses (US Food and Drug Administration) and not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body (Environment Canada), but a cosmetic ingredient review noted possible skin, eye, or lung irritation and that the evidence on irritation is not fully assessed. Some records also note restrictions in certain food uses. Because of that, avoid ingestion and keep products away from the baby's mouth. Watch for skin redness, eye irritation, or coughing and seek medical advice if these occur (sources: US Food and Drug Administration; Environment Canada; Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
