It’s safe for your skin and doesn’t have any harmful chemicals when mixed correctly. People often use alginate for dental molds or face casting because it’s gentle on the skin and sets quickly. Don’t use regular plaster directly on your face—it can get hot while it sets and might burn or irritate your skin. Always work in a place with fresh air and ask a friend to help so everything goes smoothly.
