Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Ppg 15 Stearyl Ether?
ℹ️General Overview
For newborns and infants (0–6 months): this ingredient is generally considered low risk in cosmetics and is used to help creams and wipes spread smoothly. Still, baby skin is very delicate, so we take extra care with products that contain it.
✅What to Do
If you see this ingredient in a baby product: choose products made for infants from trusted brands, use the smallest amount needed, avoid applying to broken or irritated skin, and don’t use multiple products that contain it at the same time. For a new product, try a small amount on a tiny patch of skin (for example on the inner forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. If your baby has very sensitive skin, eczema, or a rash, talk with your pediatrician before using products with this ingredient.
⚠️Warnings
What to watch for and avoid: the ingredient’s safety review was partly based on similar chemicals (Cosmetic Ingredient Review), and there are some data gaps noted by that review. A government source (Environment Canada) flagged a possible environmental concern. Also, a product verification program limits use of this ingredient unless manufacturers provide extra safety proof — that means some companies may avoid it, or only use it when they can show it’s safe. Stop use and call your doctor if your baby develops a rash, swelling, or breathing difficulty after using a product containing this ingredient.
