Confidence: MEDIUM

Tricalcium Phosphate

✅1/10

For babies 6–12 months old, tricalcium phosphate in skin care is usually safe and considered low risk. It doesn’t soak into the skin much and is not linked to serious health problems, but some forms can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs.

No Known Risk - Government and expert reviews do not show clear hazards for tricalcium phosphate. A Canadian health agency classifies it as not expected to be toxic and a low human-health priority. U.S. regulatory notes say it can be allowed in some limited food uses (and list a few specific prohibitions), and a cosmetics review found only possible irritation with the evidence described as unassessed. Together this means there are no proven or elevated risks for typical topical use on children.

Confidence: HIGH

Zea Mays (Corn) Starch

✅1/10

Zea Mays Starch is corn starch used as an absorbent and thickener in baby products and is considered very safe for topical use on babies

No Known Risk - Corn starch is widely used in baby powders and topical products, and current research does not show any significant health risks when used on intact skin. It is generally considered safe for topical use on babies, with no evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other long-term health effects. However, care should be taken to avoid inhalation of powders, but for topical use, there are no known risks.
