0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants (newborns and babies 0–6 months): this ingredient is a mild ingredient used to mix oils and water and is not flagged for cancer or allergy concerns. However, formal testing for skin irritation is limited, and very young babies have much more sensitive skin than older children or adults.
If you want to use a product that contains this ingredient on a baby under 6 months: choose products made specifically for newborns, use sparingly, avoid the face and diaper area until you know how your baby’s skin reacts, and do a small patch test on the inner forearm and watch for 24–48 hours. If you see any redness, swelling, blistering, or fussiness when applying, stop use and rinse the area gently with water. Prefer products that show clear safety testing or that are formulated for infants.
The referenced ingredient safety database notes limited or unassessed data for skin/eye/lung irritation and also indicates some verification programs restrict products containing this ingredient unless manufacturers supply safety data. Because of that, avoid using new products with this ingredient on infants’ broken skin, near the eyes or mouth, and stop use and contact your pediatrician if you notice any irritation or allergic reaction.
