0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and babies (0–6 months) this ingredient should be treated with caution. Overall data do not show strong links to cancer or developmental harm, but there is little information about use on very young babies and some countries limit its use in cosmetics.
Avoid products that list this ingredient on the label for infants under 6 months when possible. If a product containing it is already in use, stop using it on your baby’s skin and talk with your pediatrician. If a product must be used, apply sparingly to an area away from the face and monitor the skin closely for any reaction.
Do not use on broken, irritated, or very sensitive skin. Watch for redness, rash, swelling, blistering, or fussiness after contact — if you see any of these signs, stop use and call your pediatrician. The caution comes from official cosmetic-use restrictions (for example, rules under the EU cosmetics regulations), and from the limited data available for infants.
