0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
This ingredient is used to thicken creams and wipes. For most adults it shows low concern, but for newborns and babies under 6 months we are more careful because there have been reports of possible contamination with harmful chemicals. Baby skin is thin and can be more affected.
For infants (0–6 months) try to avoid products that list this ingredient when possible. If you must use a product that contains it, pick one from a brand that says it tests for contaminants and is made for sensitive baby skin. Don’t put it on broken or very irritated skin. Do a small patch test on a little area and wait 24 hours. Stop use and check with your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, or other changes.
Watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, or breathing trouble after using a product with this ingredient. The main concern comes from possible contamination with chemicals such as benzene, acrylic acid, or methacrylic acid. An industry safety review says the ingredient can be safe when used in limited amounts and formulated to avoid irritation, but because infant-specific data is limited and some verification programs restrict its use without testing, err on the side of caution for newborns and young babies.
