Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Glyceryl Linoleate?
ℹ️General Overview
For newborns and babies under 6 months: this ingredient softens skin but may make skin absorb more and can cause irritation. Because baby skin is very delicate, extra caution is needed.
✅What to Do
If your baby is 0–6 months, try to avoid products that list glyceryl linoleate unless the product is made and tested specifically for infants and a pediatrician approves it. If you must use a product that contains it, use a product labeled for babies, apply a very small amount to a small area first, avoid the face and eyes, and watch the skin for 24–48 hours.
⚠️Warnings
Industry safety reviewers have found evidence this ingredient can irritate skin, eyes or lungs and recommend use restrictions. Because of that: do not apply to broken or inflamed skin; stop use and call your pediatrician if you see redness, rash, swelling, persistent crying, trouble breathing, or watery eyes. The safety assessment also relied in places on related chemicals and on maximum product concentrations rather than broad infant testing, so there are data gaps to be aware of.
