Can older babies use Calcium Phosphate?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6 to 12 months (infants, babies), calcium phosphate is generally very safe to have in creams or lotions. It’s an inert mineral with very low concerns for long-term harm when used on normal skin.
✅What to Do
Use products made for babies or labelled for sensitive skin. Do a small patch test on a tiny area first. Don’t use powders that create dust near your baby’s face—avoid any product that can be inhaled. Don’t put it on cuts, scrapes, or irritated skin. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, or the baby seems bothered.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for irritation around the eyes, nose, or mouth and avoid inhaling any powder (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review noted possible skin/eye/lung irritation). Regulatory notes vary: some FDA-listed uses allow limited food-grade forms while other notes list restrictions—this means don’t let your baby eat or taste products containing this ingredient (source: FDA references). Environment Canada notes it is not expected to be harmful and not likely to build up in the body.
