Use products that are specifically made for babies and list this ingredient in a short, simple formula. Apply a small amount to a tiny area first and wait 24 hours to watch for any redness or irritation. Use sparingly on babies under 6 months, and avoid applying on broken or irritated skin. If your baby has a history of sensitive skin, eczema, or chemical sensitivities, check with your pediatrician before regular use.
Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, or fussiness after applying — stop use if you see these. Note that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration notes this ingredient can also be used in foods or as additives, so total exposure from multiple sources may add up. Environment Canada’s review indicates it is not expected to be toxic, persistent, or to build up in organisms, but there is some uncertainty about environmental effects. Also be aware that some product verification programs restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide safety substantiation, so prefer trusted baby brands and read label claims carefully.
