Additional information about the safety of our materials:
The alginate molding material is non-toxic, hypo-allergenic, 100% biodegradable and is created especially for direct use on skin. Although we cannot make a guarantee against reactions (nor can anyone else with any type of product), there are no known reports of an allergic reaction to the prepared alginate material.
It is a water based product with a primary ingredient of processed seaweed. It does not heat up while setting, will set with either cool or warm water and pulls away cleanly when set. It has been used in the medical and dental professions safely for many years to help make various types of prosthetics, including dentures, and to protect the most sensitive of open wounds.
As with any powder, you should avoid inhalation. Otherwise, it is safe for the prepared molding material to come into contact with even a newborn baby's skin.
This alginate based molding powder meets the following specifications:
ISO #1563 & ADA Spec 18. Also, potassium alginate (such as that contained in our formula) is regulated by the FDA (USA) as a food product.
Note: This is the only substance that will be in contact with your child while making the mold. The child is not required for the remainder of the process. |
