ℹ️General Overview
For newborns and babies up to 6 months, acetylated lanolin is usually low risk and works as a moisturizer. Most babies will not have problems, but a few can have a skin reaction.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product with this ingredient on your infant: choose a simple, fragrance-free baby product; try it on a small patch of skin (inside forearm or thigh) and wait 24–48 hours to watch for redness or rash; use the smallest amount that helps; avoid applying to broken skin. If your baby has eczema or you know your family has wool/lanolin sensitivity, check with your pediatrician first.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, rash, swelling, or increased fussiness after applying — these are signs of an allergic reaction (source: industry safety review and regulatory notes from Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Also note that industry guidance recommends limits on how the ingredient is used and purity checks; choose products from manufacturers that report safety testing or ingredient standards (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Environment Canada has evaluated it as not expected to cause organ toxicity, but some data gaps exist, so be extra cautious with very young infants.
