Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Sodium Phytate?
ℹ️General Overview
For newborns and babies (0–6 months): sodium phytate is a low-risk ingredient used to stabilize products. Because infant skin is thinner and more absorbent than adult skin, we recommend extra caution.
✅What to Do
Use products made specifically for babies and avoid concentrated or non-rinsed treatments that list sodium phytate high in the ingredients. Do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before using more widely. Don’t apply on broken or irritated skin and avoid getting the product in the baby’s eyes, nose, or mouth. Avoid sprays or misted applications near the baby’s face to prevent breathing it in. If you see redness, rash, swelling, eye irritation, or any breathing changes, stop use and contact your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
There are limited reports of eye, skin, or respiratory irritation from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). An older animal study (1994) reported tumor formation only at very high doses not comparable to normal topical use. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) and some product verification programs note recommendations or restrictions on concentrations and use without safety data. Because infant skin can absorb more, watch for any irritation, unusual fussiness, or breathing problems and seek medical advice if they occur.
