About
Trimanganese Bis(orthophosphate) is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Trimanganese bis(orthophosphate) (manganese(II) phosphate) is an inorganic salt that may appear in some cosmetic formulations as a colourant or pigment component. Manganese is an essential trace element but manganese compounds are subject to regulatory review in the EU, particularly for inhalation exposure. While not specifically restricted in EU cosmetic regulations, the SCCS has noted concerns about manganese in oral cosmetics. It is primarily used in industrial coatings and as a pottery glaze component.
Known concerns
- Manganese compounds may be restricted in certain cosmetic applications
- Oxidative agent - potential for colour changes in formulations
- Not a common cosmetic ingredient - more used in industrial/analytical chemistry
- Inhalation risk in powder form
