For babies under 6 months (newborns and infants) this ingredient is generally considered low risk in adult and general reviews, but there is limited data specifically for very young infants. Because babies have delicate, more absorbent skin, it’s safer to be cautious.
If you see this ingredient in a baby product: choose products made for infants or labeled for newborn use, use a very small amount at first, and only on small areas of skin. Do a patch test on a tiny area (inner forearm or thigh) and wait 24–48 hours. Avoid applying it to broken, red, or irritated skin. If your baby is under a pediatrician’s care for skin conditions, check with them before use.
Watch for redness, rash, swelling, or fussiness after use and stop if any appear. Avoid getting the product in your baby’s eyes or mouth. Be aware that safety assessments rely on industry concentration limits and impurity controls (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and a government review found it unlikely to be toxic (Environment Canada); however, there are data gaps for infants, and some product verification programs restrict its use without extra testing or substantiation. If you have concerns, choose products specifically formulated for newborns or consult your pediatrician.
