Amended Safety Assessment of Naturally-Sourced Clays as Used in Cosmetics

What was studied

Primary final conclusion explicitly includes Montmorillonite among seven clays with an inhalation evidence limitation. Safety assessment, not skin efficacy. Impurity composition, particle form and exposure route matter; inhalation safety is unresolved. Modified clays do not automatically characterize unmodified Montmorillonite.
