0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants (0-6 months), this ingredient is generally low risk but we should be careful. Baby skin is thin and can take up more of what is put on it, and there is limited data specifically for very young infants.
If you need to use a product containing this ingredient on a baby: choose products made for infants, use a small amount, apply once to a small area first to check for redness or irritation, avoid broken skin, keep it away from the eyes and mouth, and stop use if you see rash, redness, swelling, or any breathing changes. Prefer plain, simple baby creams or oils with known safe histories.
Watch for skin irritation or redness — limited evidence of irritation comes from the European Chemicals Agency. There are recommendations about safe concentrations from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review, and one laboratory test flagged a possible mutation signal (reported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) — these do not mean it is dangerous, but they are reasons to be cautious with infants. Also note it can appear in foods (U.S. FDA) and there are some gaps in infant-specific safety data. If in doubt, ask your pediatrician before applying new products to a baby under 6 months.
