Is this kid-friendly to use Magnesium Nitrate?
ℹ️General Overview
Magnesium nitrate is generally low risk for kids aged 5 and up when used on the skin in normal product amounts. It is not thought to build up in the body and does not show strong links to cancer, allergies, or reproductive harm.
✅What to Do
When using products for school-age children or teens that list magnesium nitrate, use them as directed and only on healthy, unbroken skin. Do not use concentrated laboratory or industrial solutions on skin. Watch for any redness, stinging, or rash and stop use if your child has a reaction. If in doubt, check with your child’s pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Some government assessments (Environment Canada) say magnesium nitrate is not expected to be toxic to body organs, but other assessments (EPA) note animal studies with effects at moderate doses. Because of that, avoid giving children repeated, high-strength, or long-term exposure. Keep products out of reach of younger babies and infants, and do not apply to broken or irritated skin. If irritation or other symptoms occur, stop use and contact your healthcare provider.
