Toxicity Profile for Calcium stearate (1989)
Abstract
Limited reports suggest that calcium stearate was not a skin irritant or a skin sensitizer in humans. Acute oral toxicity in rats was apparently low. Intratracheal administration to rats caused lung effects and deaths. Calcium stearate was not mutagenic in yeast or in an Ames bacterial test.

What are Toxicity Profiles?
Toxicity Profiles are comprehensive, yet concise, monographs on the hazard potential of individual chemicals.
They are written by scientists specially trained in the evaluation of toxicity data and are prepared principally from primary information sources.
