For newborns and babies 0-6 months: sucrose laurate is generally low risk. It’s a mild, sugar-based cleanser used to help mix water and oils in skin products. Still, there isn’t a lot of testing only in very young babies, so we’re cautious.
If you choose a product that lists sucrose laurate: prefer rinse-off products (like gentle baby washes) rather than leave-on creams for infants under 6 months; use the smallest amount needed; avoid putting it on broken or red skin; keep it away from the eyes and mouth; if using a new product, try it on a small area (for example, a small patch on the thigh) and watch for 24 hours; stop use and talk to your child’s pediatrician if you see redness, rash, swelling, or any change in breathing or feeding.
Watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, or any breathing changes. This warning comes from the provided ingredient safety information showing low concerns overall but little testing focused just on newborns and young infants. Also remember this advice is about sucrose laurate alone — other ingredients in a product can cause problems even if this ingredient is low risk.
