Is this toddler-safe to use Tricalcium Phosphate?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers (1-2 years old), tricalcium phosphate used on the skin is generally low risk. It’s not known to cause long-term health problems, but it can sometimes irritate skin, eyes, or lungs if the powder is breathed in or gets into the eyes.
✅What to Do
Before using a product on your toddler, test a small amount on a patch of skin (inner forearm) and wait 24 hours. Don’t apply to broken or sore skin. Keep powdered products away from your child’s face to avoid breathing dust. Rinse eyes or mouth with water right away if contact happens. Stop use and speak with your child’s doctor if you see a rash, persistent redness, coughing, or breathing changes.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin redness, rashes, eye irritation, or breathing problems. A cosmetic industry review noted possible irritation to skin, eyes or lungs (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Government assessments describe the ingredient as generally not expected to be harmful (Environment Canada). The U.S. food authority has specific notes about limited food uses and other use restrictions for certain situations (U.S. FDA) — follow product labels and don’t let toddlers eat products containing this ingredient. If a product lists this ingredient as a nanopowder, avoid any dusty sprays or powders because inhaling very fine particles can increase risk of lung irritation.
