For babies and newborns (0-6 months), this fragrance ingredient is not recommended. It can irritate sensitive baby skin and there is limited safety information for very young infants.
Try to avoid creams, lotions or oils that list this ingredient for your newborn. Choose fragrance-free products made for babies. If you accidentally use a product with it, wash the area with plain water and stop using the product. If you must use a product that contains it, test a very small patch on the baby’s lower arm and wait 48 hours: do not continue if you see any redness or rash.
Do not put products with this ingredient on baby’s face, hands or near the mouth. Watch for redness, rash, swelling, blisters, eye irritation, or trouble breathing — if any of these happen, stop use and contact your pediatrician right away. These warnings come from reported cosmetic use restrictions in the EU, contamination concerns with allyl alcohol, and safety notes from health agencies about irritation and possible effects on organs and hormones.
