0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and babies 0-6 months: this ingredient is generally considered low risk for adults, but there is limited information specifically for very young babies. Because baby skin is delicate, we should be careful.
If you choose a product that contains this ingredient for your baby, use products specifically made for infants, apply a very small amount to a small area first, keep it away from the face and eyes, and avoid spraying near the baby so they don’t inhale it. Prefer products labeled for newborns or tested on infant skin.
Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, watery eyes, coughing or breathing changes after use. Stop use and speak with your pediatrician if you see these signs. These cautions come from regulatory reviews and industry safety notes (European Chemicals Agency, Environment Canada and Cosmetic Ingredient Review) that reported limited evidence of skin/eye/respiratory irritation and some data gaps.
