✅What to Do
Choose products made for babies with as few ingredients as possible. Before spreading a new product widely, try a small patch on your baby’s inner forearm or thigh and wait 24 hours to watch for redness or swelling. Don’t put products on broken or very red skin. If your baby develops any irritation, stop use and talk to your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for signs of local allergic reaction such as redness, swelling, itching, or small bumps. The ingredient is reported by government safety assessments (Environment Canada) as not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body, but because infant skin is more sensitive, avoid routine use of multiple products at once and do not use on irritated or broken skin.
