Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Bis Octyldodecyl Dimer Dilinoleate?
ℹ️General Overview
For infants (0–6 months) this ingredient is generally considered low risk. The available safety information shows low concerns for cancer, allergy, and effects on development. However, because there is limited testing specifically in newborns and very young babies, we recommend extra caution.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product that contains this ingredient on your baby: use a small amount, apply to a small patch of skin (inner thigh or forearm) first and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction, avoid applying to irritated or broken skin, keep it away from the face and eyes, and choose products formulated for babies when possible. If your baby is under 3 months old, consider asking your pediatrician before regular use.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for any redness, swelling, rash, hives, or persistent dry patches after applying — stop use if these appear. The provided ingredient safety data lists low concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental effects, but also notes limited data for infants; that limited data is the reason for extra caution in newborns and babies under 6 months. If you see a strong reaction or if you are unsure, contact your pediatrician.
