ℹ️General Overview

For babies 6–12 months (older infants), this ingredient is usually low risk but we should be careful because some agencies have reported possible irritation and a limited safety concern. It is not commonly linked to cancer or allergies.

✅What to Do

If you choose a product with this ingredient, use a product made for babies, do a small patch test on a clean area (for example the inner forearm) and wait 24 hours to see if the baby’s skin reacts. Don’t use it on broken, very red, or infected skin. Keep it away from the baby’s eyes, nose, and mouth.

⚠️Warnings

A European chemicals agency has reported possible organ-system toxicity and limited evidence of skin or eye irritation for this ingredient, so watch for redness, swelling, blistering, rash, or eye irritation. If the baby shows any of those signs, stop use and talk to your pediatrician. If breathing changes or severe swelling occurs, seek emergency care.
