For adults, magnesium nitrate is generally safe for skin use and has a very low level of concern. Most health agencies find little or no risk from regular topical use.
If you’re an adult using a product that contains magnesium nitrate: do a small patch test on a forearm first, avoid applying to cuts or sore skin, follow the product directions, and stop use if you get redness, itching, or burning. Store products out of reach of children.
Watch for skin irritation (redness, itching, swelling). The warning comes from safety assessments by Environment Canada and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency which note low overall concern but report some effects in animal studies only at higher doses. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a weakened skin barrier, talk to your healthcare provider before use.
