For adults, Calcium Glycerophosphate is considered very low risk when used on the skin. Regulators have reviewed it and found no significant health hazards, and it is sometimes allowed even in small amounts in food.
Use products that list this ingredient as directed. If you want extra caution, do a small patch test on the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours before using widely. Avoid putting it on broken or irritated skin and keep it away from your eyes and mouth. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and planning frequent or long-term use, talk with your healthcare provider.
Although regulatory reviews (U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Environment Canada) report low concerns, stop use and see a doctor if you get persistent redness, swelling, itching, or any sign of an allergic reaction (such as hives or breathing trouble). Do not ingest topical products; if a large amount is swallowed or the ingredient is applied to deep open wounds, seek medical advice. Keep products out of reach of children.
