About
Magnesium Fluoride is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Magnesium fluoride is used as a fluoride source in some oral hygiene cosmetic formulations. Under EU Cosmetics Regulation Annex III, it is permitted at up to 0.15% total fluoride concentration. At these controlled concentrations, magnesium fluoride presents minimal toxicity concern. The fluoride component at controlled levels is considered beneficial for dental enamel remineralisation.
Known concerns
- Restricted in EU (Annex III, max 0.15% F)
- Low toxicity profile at permitted concentrations
- Safe in oral care applications at approved levels
