Can older babies use Adipic Acid?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months old, adipic acid in small amounts in skincare is generally low risk. The biggest concern is that it can irritate skin or eyes, so it’s best used only in products made for babies or low-concentration formulas.
✅What to Do
Choose baby-specific or gentle products. Do a small patch test on your baby’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours before using widely. Don’t use products with strong fragrances or that list high concentrations of acids. Avoid applying to broken, red, or sore skin. If your baby develops redness, stinging, swelling, or a rash, stop use and wash the area with water. Seek pediatric advice if the reaction is severe or affects breathing.
