For infants (0–6 months), proline is likely safe when it appears in normal baby creams or lotions. It is a natural building block the body uses and is considered low risk by government reviewers.
Choose products that are made for babies and list a short, simple ingredient list. Do a small patch test on a tiny area of your baby’s skin and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Use the smallest amount needed and avoid applying to broken or very red skin. If your baby has sensitive skin or was born prematurely, check with your pediatrician before trying new products.
Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, or unusual fussiness after applying a new product. While overall risk is low, some industry and government reviews note rules about how the ingredient is used or documented (for example, the U.S. food authority and Environment Canada note it is safe for limited uses, and industry reviewers note restrictions or documentation requirements). If you notice signs of an allergic reaction, stop use and contact your pediatrician right away.
