Use products made for babies that list this ingredient. Do a small patch test on the baby's inner forearm or thigh and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or irritation. Avoid using on broken or inflamed skin. Start with a small amount and stop use if the baby develops a rash, increased redness, swelling, or fussiness after application. If the baby has eczema or very sensitive skin, ask your pediatrician before trying a new product.
Some product-verification programs restrict use of this ingredient unless the maker provides supporting safety data—this comes from industry/product review notes. Industry safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) also mention recommendations about concentrations and impurities. Watch for products with many active ingredients or fragrances, avoid applying to open wounds or sore skin, and discontinue use immediately if you see any signs of sensitivity.
