For newborns and babies (0–6 months), this ingredient is generally low risk. It’s a natural skin substance that helps make vitamin D and is not known to cause serious harm when used in typical small amounts on the skin.
Use products formulated for infants or labeled for newborn skin. Apply a small amount to a limited area first and watch the baby for 24 hours. Avoid putting products near the eyes, mouth, or on broken skin. If your baby has very sensitive skin, eczema, was born premature, or you are unsure, ask your pediatrician before regular use.
Public ingredient safety listings show low concern for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and developmental or reproductive issues. Even so, stop use and call your pediatrician if you see any rash, swelling, persistent redness, blistering, or if your baby seems uncomfortable. Do not use on open wounds or with other strong active topical medications unless advised by a doctor.
