0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants (0–6 months): this ingredient is commonly used to thicken creams and lotions and is not strongly tied to long‑term harm. Still, babies’ skin is very delicate, and there are some reports of irritation and higher concern about possible contamination during manufacturing, so extra care is wise.
Choose products made for infants or labeled for newborn use, and prefer short ingredient lists and fragrance‑free formulas. If you need to use a product that lists this ingredient, use it sparingly, avoid applying it on broken or irritated skin, and keep it away from the eyes and mouth. Do a small patch test on the baby’s thigh or forearm and watch for 24–48 hours for any redness, swelling, or fussiness.
Stop use and rinse with water if you see redness, swelling, rash, or if the baby becomes unusually fussy after application. The main cautions come from safety reviews (for example Cosmetic Ingredient Review) noting possible skin/eye/lung irritation and from concerns about contamination with impurities such as methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, or benzene. If contamination is a concern, choose brands that test finished products for impurities or that share manufacturing and testing information.
