Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate?
ℹ️General Overview
For infants (0–6 months) this ingredient is not recommended. Babies' skin is thin and may absorb more of a chemical sunscreen filter, and there is little direct safety information for newborns and young babies.
✅What to Do
Keep products that list this ingredient away from infants. Protect babies with clothing, shade, hats, and, for brief sun exposure on older infants, consider mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide) only after checking with your pediatrician. If you see a product with this ingredient, don't use it on a baby under 6 months. For older babies, ask your child’s doctor before use and test a small patch of skin first.
⚠️Warnings
Scientific and regulatory sources note a few concerns: the European Chemicals Agency reports limited evidence of skin, eye, and respiratory irritation; some countries in Europe put use or concentration limits on this ingredient; international cancer reviews note limited evidence of carcinogenicity; and peer-reviewed animal studies showed reproductive effects at high doses. Because these findings come from regulatory and scientific reports (ECHA, international cancer reviews, peer-reviewed studies) and infant data are scarce, watch for redness, rash, eye irritation, or breathing changes if a product has been used and stop use immediately and seek medical advice.
