For adults, wood pulp is generally safe to touch and use on skin. It’s commonly used in wipes and absorbent pads and has very low reported health concerns.
Use products that contain wood pulp as directed. If you have sensitive skin, do a small patch test on the inner forearm first. Avoid using products with wood pulp on deep cuts, open wounds, or in the eyes. Read the product label for other ingredients (like preservatives) that could cause irritation.
Watch for redness, itching, swelling or other signs of skin irritation or allergic reaction. This guidance is based on government assessments that classify wood pulp as not expected to be toxic and a low human health priority (Environment Canada). Also be aware that a product may include other ingredients or residues from processing that are not covered by the wood pulp assessment.
