For adults: generally low risk for topical use, but there are concerns about contamination from things like iodine and heavy metals and a small study that showed weak hormone effects.
Choose products from brands that test for heavy metals and impurities or that state they screen their seaweed extracts. Use as directed and avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have hormone-sensitive health issues, talk with your healthcare provider before using products that contain this extract.
The provided ingredient data lists contamination concerns (iodine, arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury and nickel) and notes one study showing weak hormone-related effects, and an industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) recommends limits on concentration and impurities. Some product verification programs may restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide safety data. Watch for signs of irritation, and avoid use if you have sensitive skin, are pregnant or breastfeeding without checking with your clinician, or if the product does not show any testing or purity information.
