Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate?
ℹ️General Overview
For infants (0–6 months): this is a form of vitamin C used on the skin and is generally considered low-risk in adults. However, there is little direct information for newborns and babies, so we recommend being careful with products that contain it.
✅What to Do
Avoid using products that list this ingredient on babies under 6 months unless a pediatrician recommends it. If a caregiver and pediatrician decide to use it on an older baby, choose products specifically made for infants, use a very small amount on a tiny patch of skin first, and do not apply to broken, irritated, or inflamed skin.
⚠️Warnings
Safety reviews note data gaps and that safe use may depend on concentration and product type (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). The ingredient is also restricted in some product verification programs that require companies to show safety substantiation. Watch for redness, rash, swelling, or fussiness after topical use — stop use and contact your pediatrician if any of these occur.
