For infants (newborns to 6 months) this ingredient is generally low risk but we should be careful. It’s a calming skin ingredient with low flagged concerns, but industry reviewers recommend limits and note some missing data.
If you must use a product with this ingredient on a baby: choose a product made for babies, use it on a small area first, avoid broken or very irritated skin, use the smallest amount needed, and stop if any rash or irritation appears. For newborns and very sensitive babies, ask your pediatrician before use.
The ingredient listing notes recommended limits on how much can be used and on impurities based on an industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and a safety database. Also some product verification programs restrict its use unless the maker shows safety data. Watch for redness, swelling, blistering or other irritation and discontinue use and contact your child’s doctor if these appear.
