Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Glycine Soja Sterols?
ℹ️General Overview
Glycine Soja (soybean) sterols are plant-based skin conditioners. For newborns and babies 0-6 months they are generally low risk in available studies, but there is little data specifically for very young infants, whose skin is more sensitive.
✅What to Do
If you must use a product with this ingredient on an infant, choose a simple product with few ingredients, apply a tiny amount to a small area (forearm or thigh) and watch the spot for 24–48 hours. Avoid using on broken or inflamed skin, keep it away from the eyes and mouth, and use only as needed. If your baby has eczema, visible skin inflammation, or a known/suspected soy allergy, ask your pediatrician before using.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, hives, or breathing changes after applying. Note that industry reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) mention recommendations about manufacturing and impurities — impurities or high concentrations could change risk. Also, even though allergy concerns are listed as low in the safety data, soy-derived ingredients can still cause reactions in people with soy allergy, so take extra care if your baby has a history of or risk for food allergies.
