Can older babies use Tricalcium Phosphate?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months old, tricalcium phosphate in skin care is usually safe and considered low risk. It doesn’t soak into the skin much and is not linked to serious health problems, but some forms can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs.
✅What to Do
Use products that are made for infants and follow the label. Avoid products in loose powder form around your baby’s face and nose. If the product is a cream or lotion, apply a small amount to a patch of your baby’s arm first and wait 24 hours to check for redness or rash. Do not let your baby eat or lick products containing this ingredient.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, rash, stinging, sneezing, coughing, or breathing changes — these can be signs of irritation. The concern about irritation comes from a cosmetic safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Regulatory notes also mention limited food uses and other listings by food authorities (US FDA) and a low-to-no toxicity classification from Environment Canada; despite that, keep topical products out of the baby’s mouth and avoid inhaling powders.
