Can older babies use Allyl Caproate?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6-12 months (infants), this ingredient is a fragrance that can irritate sensitive skin or airways. It is not well studied in young children and some authorities limit its use in cosmetics, so it’s best to be careful.
✅What to Do
If you have a product with this ingredient: avoid using it on babies’ broken or very sensitive skin, do not use it on large areas every day, and prefer fragrance-free options for infants. Before wider use, do a small patch test on a tiny area of your baby’s thigh or inner arm and wait 48 hours to check for redness or swelling. If your baby has any redness, rash, coughing, or breathing changes, stop use and call your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Avoid products that list this as a fragrance ingredient for babies because European cosmetics rules restrict its use. Authorities (European chemical reviews and animal studies) report possible skin and respiratory irritation—watch for redness, swelling, rash, cough, or breathing changes. Long-term risks like cancer or reproductive effects are considered low in available reviews, but data in infants is limited, so err on the side of caution.
