0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants (0–6 months): this ingredient is generally low-risk when used in small amounts in products made for babies. Newborn skin is delicate, so we are extra careful even when data show low concerns.
Prefer products specifically made and labeled for babies and newborns. If introducing a new product that contains this ingredient, use it sparingly at first — apply a small amount to a limited area (for example, one small patch on the arm or leg) and watch the skin for 24–48 hours before regular use. For babies younger than about 3 months, try to keep skincare simple: mild soap and a single, baby-formulated moisturizer. If your baby has eczema or known sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before use.
Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, rash, blistering, or any hives after applying a product with this ingredient. Avoid applying products with this ingredient to broken or irritated skin and keep products away from eyes and mouth. The safety information reviewed showed low concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental/reproductive effects and no use restrictions, but because infant skin is more sensitive we still recommend the precautions above.
