0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants (0-6 months) this ingredient is generally low risk. It’s a non-active ingredient used to thicken or give lotion a smooth feel. The safety listings show few concerns, but very young babies can have extra-sensitive skin.
If you use a lotion or cream that lists Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, apply a small amount first to a tiny patch of your baby’s inner arm and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction. Use it only on intact, healthy skin. For newborns, premature babies, or babies with eczema, ask your pediatrician before regular use. Keep the product away from the baby’s eyes and mouth.
Stop using the product and call your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, blistering, increasing irritability after application, or any signs of infection. The ingredient’s public safety listing indicates low concern for cancer, allergy and reproductive effects, so the primary warning for infants is skin irritation and sensitivity. If you’re unsure, consult your child’s healthcare provider.
