Can older babies use Acetylated Lanolin?
ℹ️General Overview
For a 6–12 month old baby (older infant), this ingredient is usually safe as a moisturizer on normal, unbroken skin. It is considered low risk by regulatory reviews, but a few babies can be sensitive to lanolin-type ingredients.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product with this ingredient on your 6–12 month old: do a small patch test first (apply a little to the forearm and wait 24–48 hours), choose products labeled for babies or that list safety testing or concentrations, use a small amount on intact skin only, and stop use if you see redness, swelling, or a rash. If a baby has a known wool or lanolin allergy, avoid it.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for signs of skin irritation or allergic reaction (redness, bumps, swelling, or blistering). Note that industry safety reviewers recommend limits on how much can be used in products and have pointed out some gaps in safety data, and a government safety review found it not likely to be toxic. Because of those industry recommendations and data notes (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and the government finding (Environment Canada), prefer baby-specific products or those that disclose safety testing. If you see a severe reaction or the rash spreads, contact your pediatrician.
