0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants and newborns (0-6 months), C14-22 Alcohols are fatty ingredients used to soften and thicken creams. They are generally low risk and usually do not cause trouble, but baby skin is more delicate and there’s limited testing specifically in very young babies, so use a little extra caution.
Use products made for babies or labeled for newborns. Before using a new product with this ingredient, try a tiny amount on a small area (like the forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Apply sparingly, avoid rubbing into broken or raw skin, and keep creams away from the eyes and mouth. If a product causes a rash or swelling, stop use and call your baby’s pediatrician.
The ingredient safety data provided lists low concern for cancer, allergies and reproductive/developmental effects, but it also shows limited infant-specific testing. Don’t use on open wounds or severe diaper rash. Watch for signs of irritation (redness, swelling, bumps, increased fussiness) and stop use if they appear. If you’re unsure, consult your pediatrician before trying a new product on a newborn.
