6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
Acrylates Copolymer is usually low risk for babies 6–12 months old. It is used to help products form a thin film on skin. Most of the worry about it comes from possible tiny contaminants and from products that can irritate sensitive skin if not made carefully.
If you need a product that contains this ingredient, choose items made for babies by brands that test for impurities. Use a small amount on a small patch of skin (inner forearm) first and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Avoid putting it on broken or inflamed skin, and limit use of leave-on cosmetics on infants. If your baby develops redness, swelling, or a rash, stop using the product and talk to your pediatrician.
Industry safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) list contamination concerns — possible traces of methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, benzene, and 2‑ethylhexyl acrylate — and note that formulations should avoid irritation. Watch for any signs of skin irritation, and avoid products without clear manufacturing or testing information. Do not use on broken skin and avoid frequent or widespread use on very young babies.
