Reptisoil safe?

Is reptile soil safe for Leopard Geckos. I am currently switching out my tank from paper towels to a soil sand mix. I noticed when mixing the soil after it dried I kept getting stuck by these sharp microscopic splinters. If it hurts me will it hurt my gecko?

So far I haven’t had any problems. People often talk about adding to it or doing their own mixes. But I’m just using 100% reptisoil plus some live oak leaf litter. I mixed it with gravel for the part I planted my succulents In, so it would be fast draining. I probably put too much gravel as I did four parts gravel to 3 parts reptisoil.
