0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants (0–6 months), this ingredient is generally low risk. It is a common, non-reactive polymer used to help products stick to or form a light film on the skin. Most safety checks show low concerns for cancer, allergic reactions, or effects on development.
If you need to use a product with this ingredient on a baby: use only a small amount, apply to intact (not broken) skin, do a small patch test on a tiny area first, and wait 24 hours to watch for any redness or rash. For babies under 6 months, talk to your pediatrician before routine use and avoid applying to large areas of the body.
Watch for any redness, swelling, itching, or rash after use and stop using the product if these occur. Avoid using on cuts, raw or infected skin. These precautions come from available ingredient safety records showing low but non-zero allergy and irritation potential; when in doubt, check with your child’s doctor before applying to infants or newborns.
