Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Biosaccharide Gum 1?
ℹ️General Overview
For infants (newborns and babies up to 6 months), this ingredient is generally considered low risk and is used to moisturize and calm skin. However, baby skin is delicate, so we recommend being careful and using as little as possible.
✅What to Do
Use only baby-formulated products that list this ingredient. Start with a small amount on a clean patch of skin (for example, a small area on the leg) and wait up to 48 hours to watch for any redness or rash. Do not apply to broken or very irritated skin. If your baby has eczema, very sensitive skin, or is under a pediatrician’s care, ask the pediatrician before trying new products.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, blisters, hives, increased fussiness, or a rash after use. The ingredient listings note very low concerns for cancer, allergy, and developmental effects, but also note that some product standards restrict its use unless manufacturers provide safety data. That industry safety review and ingredient database notes these restrictions—so prefer products specifically formulated and tested for infants.
