0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants (0–6 months) this ingredient is usually low risk and is often used to soothe skin. However, baby skin is delicate, and there are some gaps in safety data and a small chance of irritation or allergy.
Choose products made for babies that list a purified or decolorized aloe or specifically say they are formulated for infants. Avoid homemade or whole‑leaf aloe preparations. If you try a product, do a small patch test on a tiny area of the baby’s thigh and wait 24 hours. Don’t put aloe products on broken, red, or diaper‑rash skin without advice from your pediatrician. Stop use and call your doctor if you see worsening rash, swelling, or signs of an allergic reaction.
Watch for redness, swelling, blistering, or new rash after using an aloe product — those are signs of irritation or allergy (noted in industry safety reviews and literature). Be careful with products that don’t say how the aloe was processed: whole‑leaf extracts can contain impurities like aloin. Also note that some product safety programs require extra proof from makers before allowing this ingredient, because of concentration and impurity concerns (information from cosmetic industry safety reviews and peer‑reviewed studies).
