0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants (0–6 months) this ingredient is considered low risk. It’s a mild ingredient used to mix oils and water in creams and lotions. However, newborn skin is extra delicate, so be cautious.
Use products made for newborns and babies, apply a small amount to a small area first (forearm or behind the ear) and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction. Avoid applying to broken or inflamed skin. Choose fragrance-free baby formulas and keep the number of products minimal. If your baby has known skin conditions (like eczema), talk with your pediatrician before adding new products.
Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, hives, worsening rash, or any breathing trouble after using a product. This advice is based on available ingredient safety information which shows low concerns for cancer, allergy, and developmental effects, but extra caution is recommended for newborns because their skin is more sensitive.
