0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
This ingredient is used to soften and smooth skin. Overall evidence shows low concern for serious problems, but there is little information about use on newborns and babies under 6 months. Because baby skin is more sensitive, it’s best to be cautious.
For infants (0–6 months): avoid products that list this ingredient unless the product is made and labeled for babies or your pediatrician says it’s okay. If you must use a product with it, choose one made for infants, use a small amount in a single area, and stop if any redness or irritation appears. Prefer simpler formulas with fewer ingredients for newborns.
Some industry review groups and product standards say manufacturers should show safety data before using this ingredient in products. Do not use on broken or irritated skin. Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, or increased fussiness after use — stop use and contact your pediatrician if those occur.
