0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants (0-6 months): this dairy ingredient is generally low risk, but baby skin is delicate and milk proteins can sometimes cause a rash or allergy. Be cautious with newborns, babies, and infants.
If you must use a product with buttermilk powder: 1) Only put it on a tiny area of healthy skin (a patch on the forearm). 2) Wait 24–48 hours to watch for redness, bumps, or swelling. 3) Do not use on broken, scabby, or inflamed skin or on areas with eczema. 4) If the baby has a known cow’s milk allergy, do not use it on their skin. 5) If any reaction appears, wash the area with plain water and stop use; contact your pediatrician.
The provided ingredient report indicates low overall concerns for cancer and long-term effects, but does note allergy as a possible (though low) issue. Watch for skin irritation, rash, swelling, hives, or breathing trouble. Avoid use on babies with eczema or known milk allergy and keep products away from the eyes, mouth, and nose. Seek medical help immediately for any breathing problems or severe allergic signs.
