0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants (0–6 months), this ingredient is generally considered low risk when used on the skin. Safety reviews list very low concerns for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth or reproduction. Because infants’ skin is more sensitive, we remain a little extra careful.
If you use a product that contains this ingredient on your baby: use it sparingly and only on small areas as needed; avoid applying to broken, irritated, or very inflamed skin; keep products away from the eyes, nose and mouth; prefer products made specifically for newborns and labeled for sensitive baby skin; always stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, blistering, or increased fussiness after use. If you are unsure or your baby has eczema or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before use.
Watch for any new rash, redness, swelling, or signs of irritation after using a product with this ingredient and stop using it if these happen. This advice is based on summaries from public cosmetic ingredient safety databases that list low overall concerns but note limited infant-specific data. Avoid using multiple new products at once so you can tell which one caused a reaction, and do not apply to open wounds or severe eczema without medical advice.
