0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and babies under 6 months, this rice-derived ingredient is usually low-risk, but there are worries about pesticide contamination and not enough safety data for very young skin. Because babies’ skin is delicate and absorbs more, it’s safer to be cautious.
Prefer products made for infants or labeled safe for newborns. If you must use a product with this ingredient, choose one from a brand that tests for impurities and limits concentrations. Don’t put it on broken, red, or irritated skin. For the first time, test a tiny patch on the baby’s inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, or rash.
Possible pesticide contamination of rice-based ingredients is the main concern (reported by ingredient reviews). Industry reviewers also note data gaps and recommend purity and concentration limits (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Avoid using this ingredient routinely on infants under 6 months, avoid using on damaged skin, and watch closely for any signs of irritation or allergic reaction.
