Very low risk. As a form of vitamin B5, this ingredient is generally safe for babies and newborns when it’s used in normal amounts in baby lotions and creams.
Use products made for infants/newborns. If you try a new product, test a small patch of skin first (for example on the arm). Don’t put products on broken or very red skin. Keep creams away from your baby’s mouth and eyes. If you see a rash or increased redness, stop using it and talk with your pediatrician.
Avoid concentrated or medicinal forms (these are not the same as the small amounts used in baby skincare). Some product verification programs require extra documentation from manufacturers before allowing this ingredient — so if you rely on a verified label, check the packaging. The safety conclusions come from government and industry reviews (for example FDA, Environment Canada, and Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
