âšī¸General Overview
For infants (0-6 months) this ingredient is generally considered low risk for cancer, allergies, and developmental harm in typical adult use, but there are notes about possible contamination and recommended limits. Because newborns and babies have very delicate skin and lungs, we treat it cautiously and do not recommend routine use on infants.
â What to Do
If you can, choose products made specifically for babies that do not list this ingredient. Do not use powders or sprays that contain it around infants to avoid breathing it in. If a product with this ingredient is used, apply only to a small area of intact skin (not broken skin), keep it away from the face and mouth, use sparingly, and stop if any irritation appears.
â ī¸Warnings
Pay attention for redness, rash, irritation, or any breathing problems after use. The ingredient record flags contamination concerns (CI 77000) and notes from industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) recommend limits and impurity controls â these are the reasons to be cautious with infants. Also note that some certification programs restrict use of this ingredient unless manufacturers provide extra safety data; if a baby product doesn't provide clear testing or is not labeled for infants, avoid it.
