Is this safe for adults to use Tartaric Acid?

āœ…
YES - Generally Safe
Danger Score: 1 (Lower is safer)
Quick Answer: Tartaric Acid is generally considered safe for adults when used in topical products. Adults generally have higher tolerance.

ā„¹ļøGeneral Overview

For adults, tartaric acid in skin products is generally safe when used in the low amounts typical in cosmetics. It is not seen as a cancer risk or a reproductive risk and is not thought to build up in the body.

āœ…What to Do

Use products that list tartaric acid at typical cosmetic concentrations and follow the product directions. Do a small patch test on the inside of your forearm before first use. Avoid applying to broken or very irritated skin. If you have sensitive skin, start with lower-frequency use and stop if you get stinging or redness.

āš ļøWarnings

Watch for skin irritation, burning, or a rash ā€” stop use if these happen. The safety information in the ingredient data comes from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (listed as safe for limited food use) and Environment Canada (not expected to be toxic). Even though major hazards are rated low, individuals can still have irritation or sensitivity.
