Tricalcium Phosphate

✅1/10

For adults, tricalcium phosphate is generally safe to use on the skin. Reviews find low concerns for long-term health risks. The main issue reported is mild irritation, especially if the ingredient is in a powder form that can get into the eyes or be breathed in.

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.
