About

A fluoride compound permitted in oral hygiene cosmetic products up to 0.15% fluoride concentration with neurotoxicity and reprotoxicity concerns.

Aluminium fluoride is used in some oral hygiene cosmetic products such as toothpaste. Under EU Cosmetics Regulation Annex III, it is permitted at up to 0.15% fluoride concentration, with the total fluoride from all sources not exceeding this limit. Concerns include potential neurotoxicity from aluminium exposure and H361 (suspected reproductive toxicity), but the strict concentration limits mitigate these risks in approved applications.

Known concerns

  • Restricted in EU (Annex III, max 0.15% F)
  • Neurotoxicity concern from aluminium component
  • Reproductive concern (H361)
  • Fluoride acute toxicity (H301)
  • Eye and respiratory irritation (H319, H335)
