For adults: calcium phosphate in creams, powders or pastes is usually safe. Health concerns are low, but it can sometimes cause mild irritation, especially if a product is dusty or gets into the eyes or lungs.
Do a small patch test before using a new product. Avoid getting powders in your nose or mouth and keep them away from your eyes. Use products as the label says. If you notice redness, stinging, swelling, breathing trouble, or eye irritation, stop using the product and rinse the area; see a healthcare provider if symptoms are severe or don’t improve.
Irritation: some assessments note possible skin, eye or lung irritation if dust is inhaled (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Regulatory notes: Environment Canada classifies it as not expected to be toxic and a low human health priority; FDA records include both allowances for certain food‑grade uses and restrictions for some forms, which likely reflect differences in purity or intended use (FDA). If you are using powdered products, take care to avoid inhaling them and choose formulations intended for skin use. If pregnant or breastfeeding and you have concerns, check with your healthcare provider.
