ℹ️General Overview
For newborns and babies (0-6 months): this ingredient is usually low risk and is used to make skin feel soft. However, babies’ skin is very delicate, so we recommend being cautious.
✅What to Do
If you plan to use a product that lists isoamyl laurate: choose products made for newborns/babies, use a small amount, do a quick patch test on a tiny area (for example, the outer thigh) and wait 24 hours before wider use, avoid putting it near the eyes or mouth, do not apply to broken or very red skin, and stop use and call your pediatrician if you see any redness, swelling, blistering, or other worrying signs.
⚠️Warnings
Safety reviews from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review and government sources note a low chance of skin or eye irritation and that some products may limit how much can be used. Watch for any irritation or allergic reaction and avoid getting the product in the baby’s eyes or mouth. If baby has eczema or sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before use. Environment Canada notes environmental toxicity concerns, but this is not a direct short-term risk to your baby’s skin.
