0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and babies 0–6 months, coconut-derived triglycerides are generally safe. They work like a gentle skin oil to soften and protect baby skin and have low ratings for cancer, allergy, and developmental concerns.
Use products with this ingredient on babies in small amounts and choose fragrance-free, simple formulas. Apply a small amount to a patch of skin (for example, the inner forearm or thigh) and watch for 24 hours before regular use. Avoid getting it in the baby’s eyes or mouth. If your baby has very sensitive skin, eczema, or was born prematurely, check with your pediatrician before use.
Stop use and call your doctor if you see persistent redness, swelling, rash, blisters, or any breathing difficulty. Although overall allergy risk is low, coconut allergies can occur — if your child has a known coconut allergy avoid products with coconut-derived ingredients. These points come from available ingredient safety listings that rate cancer, allergy, and developmental concerns as low for this ingredient.
