Such products from the US are considered non-toxic, meaning they can be used often and swallowing or snorting in a little bit should have no unusual effects on one's health. It is assumed that any user of facial cleansers will at sometime accidentally get a bit into the eyes, nostrils, ears, or mouth. We don't worry about such tiny, accidental exposures. If worried, a person can visit her doctor.
