For newborns and infants (0-6 months), this is likely low risk but data on very young babies is limited. It can help soften skin but may irritate some sensitive babies.
If you need to use a product with this ingredient on a baby: choose a product labeled for infants, try a tiny patch on the baby's inner forearm or thigh and wait 24–48 hours, use a small amount, avoid the face and diaper area if skin is broken, and stop use and call your pediatrician if you see irritation or breathing changes.
Some safety reviews note possible irritation and recommend concentration limits in products; other assessments were based on related chemicals rather than direct infant testing (industry safety reviews and an environmental agency report). Watch for redness, rash, swelling, watery eyes, coughing or difficulty breathing. Do not use on open sores or seriously chapped skin without medical advice.
