For infants (0–6 months), this ingredient appears to be low risk based on available safety listings, but it has not been well studied in newborns. Because baby skin is more sensitive and absorbs more, it’s best to be cautious.
If you need to use a product that lists this ingredient on a baby under 6 months: use it sparingly, apply to a small area first to test for redness or irritation, avoid broken or irritated skin, keep products away from the face and hands that baby might put in their mouth, and choose products specifically made and tested for infants when possible.
Watch for any redness, swelling, rash, or fussiness after use and stop using the product if these occur. The ingredient listing notes that some verification programs restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide extra safety data, and industry review panels have given guidance on safe use—so prefer products formulated and tested for infants and check the product maker’s safety information.
