0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and young babies, this ingredient is usually low risk but not completely without concern. A few people have had allergic skin reactions, and this ingredient can make skin absorb other things more easily. Because baby skin is very delicate, we take a cautious approach.
If possible, choose products made specifically for newborns that do not list this ingredient. If a product with Arachidyl Glucoside is needed: 1) avoid applying it to broken, red, or very thin areas of skin; 2) do a small patch test behind the ear or on the inner forearm and wait 48 hours to check for a reaction before using more widely; 3) prefer short contact or rinse-off products rather than leave-on creams on infants; 4) keep the number of products and ingredients minimal; 5) stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see any rash, swelling, or persistent redness.
There are human case reports of allergic contact dermatitis (skin allergy) and safety reviews that note it can increase skin absorption and may irritate skin or eyes. Peer‑reviewed studies show limited evidence for hormone effects and some animal studies reported reproductive effects at higher doses. Some product verification programs restrict use of this ingredient unless its safety is documented. If your baby develops a rash, swelling, breathing changes, or any sudden symptoms after a product use, stop use immediately and seek medical care.
