0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and young babies (0-6 months) this ingredient is considered low risk. It helps keep creams and lotions feeling smooth and mixed together. Because baby skin is very delicate, we recommend being careful even with low-risk ingredients.
Choose baby-specific products that list this ingredient rather than applying adult products. Use a small amount on a small area first (a tiny patch test on the forearm or leg), avoid applying to broken or irritated skin, and keep products away from the eyes and mouth. If you see any redness, swelling, or ongoing rash, stop use and talk to your baby’s pediatrician.
Public ingredient safety summaries rate cancer, allergy, and developmental concerns as low for this ingredient, so those are not the main worry. The main thing to watch for is a skin reaction in your baby. This advice is based on available public safety assessments and ingredient databases; if a product contains other ingredients (fragrance, preservatives), those can cause irritation even if this ingredient is low-risk.
