0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and babies (0–6 months), Ceramide NP is generally very low risk. It is a skin-like fat that helps moisturize and repair the skin, and most safety notes rate it as low concern. However, infants have thinner, more sensitive skin, so we should be careful.
Use products made and labeled for babies or newborn skin. Apply a small amount on a limited area first (for example, a forearm) and watch for any redness or fussiness. Avoid using on broken skin or severe diaper rash. If your baby was born premature or has a skin condition, check with your pediatrician before use.
Watch for any signs of irritation such as redness, swelling, or increased fussiness; stop use if these happen. Limited irritation was reported by the European Chemicals Agency, and some studies note this ingredient can increase skin absorption of other ingredients (peer-reviewed literature). Industry reviewers also note there may be recommended limits or rules for how it is used (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). If you see a reaction or are unsure, contact your pediatrician.
