About FERROUS GLYCINATE

An iron-containing salt used for conditioning or antioxidant claims, but the raw material is more irritation-prone than routine skin-friendly minerals.

Detailed Analysis

Ferrous glycinate is an iron complex of glycine. Raw-material hazard data point to harmful acute exposure routes plus skin and eye irritation, so even if finished-product use is much lower, it deserves a clearly cautious score compared with gentler conditioning salts.
