For newborns and babies 0-6 months, potassium aspartate is generally low risk when used in topical products made for infants. It is a mild ingredient and is not linked to cancer or growth problems in available data. However, some product rules say makers should have extra safety data before using it.
Pick only creams, ointments or lotions that are specifically made and labeled for babies/newborns. Do a small patch test on a small area (for example, the inner forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation before regular use. Use a small amount, avoid the face and diaper area if the skin is broken, and keep products out of the baby’s mouth and eyes. If your baby is premature, has very sensitive skin, or a history of eczema, check with your pediatrician first.
Avoid using products that do not state they are safe for infants or that lack clear safety information. Do not apply to open wounds, inflamed or infected skin. Stop use and call your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, rash, or any sign of irritation. The caution about allowing this ingredient only with adequate safety data comes from industry safety guidance (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and related product standards).
