ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months old, Acacia Senegal Gum is usually safe when it’s a small part of a product, but some babies can get allergic skin reactions. Overall health risks are low, but watch for rashes or irritation.
✅What to Do
If you plan to use a product that lists Acacia Senegal Gum: choose products made for babies or sensitive skin, do a small patch test on a tiny area (for example, the inner forearm) and wait 24 hours before wider use, avoid putting products on broken or chapped skin, and stop use and talk to your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, or persistent rash.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for signs of an allergic reaction (redness, itching, swelling, hives, or breathing changes). Reports of skin allergy come from industry safety reviews and medical literature (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and peer‑reviewed studies) and occupational reports (Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics). There are also recommendations that manufacturers limit concentrations and control impurities (Cosmetic Ingredient Review / industry panels). If your baby has eczema or a history of allergies, avoid products with this ingredient unless advised by your child’s healthcare provider.
