For babies 0–6 months (newborns and infants): this ingredient is generally low risk when used on skin in small amounts. Officials who review ingredients consider it unlikely to cause cancer or long-term harm. Still, specific studies on newborn skin are limited, so we recommend being careful.
If a product for your baby lists calcium glycerophosphate: choose products made for babies, do a small patch test on a tiny area of skin and wait 24 hours before wider use, avoid putting it on broken or sore skin, and keep it away from the baby’s eyes and mouth. For newborns under 2 months, avoid unnecessary topical products and check with your pediatrician before use.
Stop use and call your pediatrician if you see redness, rash, swelling, blisters, or if your baby becomes unusually fussy after application. The safety information referenced comes from regulatory sources (FDA and Environment Canada) that list low concern for cancer, allergy and developmental effects, but note the limited direct data for infants. Do not let the baby ingest the product and avoid applying to broken skin.
