Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Lauryl Glucoside?
ℹ️General Overview
For newborns and infants (0–6 months): this is a mild cleansing ingredient and is usually low risk, but babies’ skin is very delicate so there’s a small chance it can irritate or rarely cause an allergic reaction.
✅What to Do
Use products that rinse off (bath washes or shampoos) rather than leave-on wipes when possible. Choose products made for newborns with short ingredient lists and low concentrations of cleaners. Avoid using it on broken or very red skin. If you do use wipes, don’t rub hard and avoid the face/eyes; pat dry afterward. Stop use and consult your pediatrician if you see persistent redness, rash, swelling, blisters, or if the baby becomes unusually fussy after use.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, or blistering — some human patch-test reports have found possible allergic reactions (patch-testing and allergic contact dermatitis studies). Safety reviewers have also noted possible skin/eye irritation and recommend concentration limits (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Animal studies reported male reproductive effects at higher doses (Ecology and Toxicology of Alkyl Polyglycosides), so avoid heavy or repeated use on infants, especially those with eczema or very sensitive skin.
