0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and babies (0–6 months) this ingredient is usually gentle, but there is a safety note about possible manufacturing impurities. Because babies’ skin is very sensitive, we take an extra cautious approach.
Choose products made specifically for newborns or labeled for sensitive baby skin. Look for brands that state they test or control for impurities, or that have independent verification. Use products with short ingredient lists and apply sparingly. Do not use on broken or irritated skin. If you see any redness, swelling, rash, or if your baby seems uncomfortable, stop use and talk to your pediatrician.
An ingredient safety listing flags contamination risks (ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane) as the main concern. Also the ingredient may be restricted by some verification programs unless manufacturers show it is free from those contaminants. Common long‑term concerns like cancer or reproductive harm are listed as low, but data gaps exist because it has not had a full industry safety assessment for cosmetics. Watch for signs of irritation after first uses and avoid products that do not state they test for contaminant residues.
