Safety score · 0–100

Fine

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A freshwater sediment / mud used in spa-style cosmetics, rich in minerals and organic matter. Topically soothing, but composition varies a lot by source — heavy-metal and microbial controls are the key checks.

Skin benefits

  • Mineral- and humic-rich peloid
  • Traditional skin-conditioning use
  • Mild physical exfoliation
  • Soothing claim in mud-mask formats

Known concerns

  • Variable composition depending on origin
  • Possible heavy-metal and microbial load
  • Limited cosmetic-specific standardisation
  • Source-traceability is critical
