For infants (0–6 months) this ingredient is generally low risk and is used to soothe skin. But babies’ skin can absorb more, so we are more careful with newborns and very young babies.
Use only products that say they are made for babies or that your pediatrician recommends. If you try a new product with this ingredient, apply a very small amount to a tiny area (for example, the lower arm or leg) and watch the baby for 24 hours for any redness, swelling, or rash. Don’t use on broken or inflamed skin, near the mouth or eyes, or under heavy occlusion (like under diapers) unless the product is specifically made for that use.
Some industry safety reviews recommend limits on how much of this ingredient can be used and recommend controlling impurities (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review, an industry safety panel). Also, some product‑verification programs require manufacturers to provide safety data before allowing this ingredient in verified infant products. Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, blistering, breathing changes, or any other unusual reaction.
