For newborns and infants (0-6 months) this ingredient is generally low risk when it is part of a finished lotion or cream made for babies. It is not a common cause of serious problems in baby skincare.
Choose products that are labeled for newborns or infants and from reputable brands. Do not apply the pure ingredient directly to your baby. Start with a small amount on a tiny area of normal skin and watch for 24–48 hours. Use on intact (not broken) skin only. If your baby has very sensitive skin or a condition like eczema, check with your pediatrician before use.
Avoid products that contain this ingredient in high concentration or products without clear baby-safe formulation. Keep the product off broken or inflamed skin. Stop use and call your pediatrician if you see persistent redness, swelling, blistering, or signs of an allergic reaction. These practical cautions come from industry safety reviewers who recommend limits on concentration and control of impurities (Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
