Safe? Maybe

There is a common assumption, perhaps even intuitive, that these dirty chemical sourced panels are toxic, smelly, even carcinogenic. On the other hand the animal and plant products are warm and safe.
Actual studies have shown the opposite is often the case.
RockWool dissolves in the body within weeks, Cotton can take 18 months.

The Comparative Safety of Rockwool, Fiberglass, and Organic Fibers (a review)

So be careful with Cotton and Cellulose dust. And be aware that some of the bad guys come up as good guys in the tests, e.g. Roxul.
I suspect Ecose would do well also.
