SODIUM CALCIUM ZINC PHOSPHATE.

Insufficient Data CAS - / ABRASIVE, BUFFERING, NAIL CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING, UV ABSORBER

SODIUM CALCIUM ZINC PHOSPHATE is a multifaceted inorganic compound primarily recognized for its abrasive and exfoliating properties, aiding in surface cleansing and cell turnover. It also acts as a buffering agent to maintain product pH and offers skin conditioning benefits, potentially through its zinc component.

Abrasive Buffering Nail Conditioning Skin Conditioning UV Absorber Exfoliating

Science

This ingredient functions by physically abrading the skin surface, facilitating the removal of dead cells and impurities through a gentle grinding or polishing action. Its zinc component may contribute to protecting skin proteins, promoting overall skin health. Additionally, it stabilizes cosmetic formulations by buffering pH levels and can absorb UV light to safeguard product integrity.

Transparency

Not commonly dusted

While specific clinical studies demonstrating the efficacy and optimal concentration ranges of SODIUM CALCIUM ZINC PHOSPHATE in skincare are not available, its described mechanisms (abrasive, buffering, UV absorbing) are well-established for similar compound types. The lack of specific ingredient-level efficacy data prevents a precise assessment of 'dusting'.

Stability

Calcium phosphate components are stable in alkaline conditions but exhibit poor solubility at neutral pH and increased solubility in acidic environments. These components can form pH-sensitive layers, releasing ions rapidly around pH 5 while remaining stable at neutral pH. Zinc phosphate is generally considered insoluble in water, and the overall phase composition of calcium zinc phosphate coatings is significantly influenced by pH, with distinct forms observed at different acidic ranges (e.g., pH 2.5-3.25 vs. pH 3.5-4.25).


Safety

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

SODIUM CALCIUM ZINC PHOSPHATE has not been specifically reviewed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel. However, the CIR Panel did review related inorganic and organometallic zinc salts, including Zinc Phosphate (a component), concluding their safety in cosmetics under current use practices and concentrations, provided they are formulated to be non-irritating. The SCCS opinions section on CosIng for this specific ingredient is empty, and FDA food additive approvals for calcium phosphate do not directly extend to its cosmetic use.

Our Assessment

Insufficient Data

While SODIUM CALCIUM ZINC PHOSPHATE offers potential benefits as an exfoliant, buffer, and skin conditioner with UV protection, comprehensive safety and efficacy data specifically for this compound in cosmetic applications remains limited, warranting further investigation.
