0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants (0-6 months), Coco-Caprylate is generally low risk. It’s used to make creams and wipes feel smooth and spread easily. Most safety reviews say it’s okay in products when used in small amounts.
Choose products made for babies and labeled fragrance-free. Use only a small amount on normal, unbroken skin. Avoid putting products near your baby’s eyes, nose, or mouth. If you’re trying a new product, apply a tiny amount on a small area first and watch for 24–48 hours.
A cosmetic safety review notes it is considered safe with some limits and that it can cause skin, eye, or lung irritation in rare cases (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Stop use and talk to your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, a rash, or if your baby seems uncomfortable or has breathing changes. Avoid using on broken or very irritated skin and avoid products with added fragrance or unnecessary ingredients for infants.
